Well, I tried "sicromoft", "BeefRSD", & "xilnu" and frakly those gurgle trends are pretty useless for us in the Real World.

Assuming it works. As SirDice linked, you would probably: kldload if_bwn edit up your wpa_supplicant.conf ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev bwn0 and then work from there. Though, hrm . . . I wonder how difficult it would be to use PCBSD's network manager.

Is google trends anything like trying to gauge my cat's health and age by cutting him in half and counting the rings? http://www.google.com/trends?q=sex%2C+drugs%2C+rock+and+roll&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0

edit should be to whatever $EDITOR is set as, I think this defaults to /usr/bin/ee (quo vide: ee), though this might depends on your shell and what's in your ~/.cshrc, ~/.tcshrc, ~/.profile, et al. editors/vim seems to make some people happy. If editors/joe has syntax highlighting* (I don't...

Copy-on-write might be nice for ufs, but I'm not going to move to zfs for that. The rest of it is all in that "Well, don't that beat all!" category.

bwn then?

Where is -lutempter coming from? The reason I am asking is that your config.log has a lot of stuff like configure:7782: warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'strftime' /usr/lib/libutempter.so: undefined reference to `pututxline@FBSD_1.2' which mine does not.

There was a professor speaking to his students, "Many languages use a double negative to intensify the sense of negativity. In English, as a rule, a double negative tends to nullify the negative sense. Oddly, there is no language in which a double positive is used in a negative sense . . ."...

Looks to me like it grabs it using sysctl. See also /usr/src/usr.bin/uname/uname.c or your friendly, local snv server. Additionally, look perhaps at the kern.version, kern.ostype, kern.osrelease, kern.osrevision sysctls, too. Edit: So, I guess the answer is that uname reads from a...

I don't know what the probe order is, but there's a fair chance that the pause isn't actually related to msk0. Is the pause perhaps re0 waiting for a DHCP response? It might also be waiting for a USB device to finish probing as well. What prints just after the 10 second pause?

Boy, I'd like to say that ps could do something, but I'm not sure. It does too much for my tiny brain.

Log in as root, rebuild/reinstall bash, create an emergency account that doesn't use a non-base shell. See also 14676.

Pump the output through tee (something like make buildworld | tee /var/tmp/buildworldoutfile) so hopefully you'll get something slightly more meaningful when(if) it barfs. Also, make sure you have any and all -j turned off, else none of your output will be human readable. I'm betting on...

This is how operating systems work, actually. And you're not really going to save the life of your disk(s) unless you're buying garbage and running it for four or five generations past its useful life (on that note, I did get rid of a 1.9G DEC 5" full-height SCSI bagel warmer a few years back)...

The most economical method of dealing with the automake/autoconf stuff is to pkg_delete it. If some other package/port needs it, it will suck in the version and such that it needs. That is unless you actually develop with autoconf/automake, in which case I am so very sorry.

There's also this or that or t'other. And that may only be the tip of the iceberg (верхівка айсберга).

I've seen some really old SCSI RAID cards with 30-pin slots which I assume was for cache. There's this. In this case the potential is there.

I don't know about browser plugins, but graphics/xpdf is what I use. It is very lightweight, and depends on little. If you have a bunch of gtk/gnome stuff already, graphics/evince seems to work slightly better for certain large, multilayered pdfs. Someone might suggest graphics/epdfview...

Even http://www.com doesn't prepend a www . . . in fact, http://www.www.com/ redirects to http://www.com/ I'm not sure that's in any way authoritative, though.

Yes, DragonflyBSD probably qualifies as lightweight. OpenBSD & NetBSD are also lightweight. This is obviously assuming you don't install too much non-lightweight stuff. Also, "distro" is an obnoxious linuxism and should not be used in the context of BSD (unless you're specifically talking...
