    pkgng Beta

    Bombdiggity I can't wait to test this. I have first hand experience (read: pain) with the brokenness of pkg_install. :P

    which programming language should I use for FreeBSD software

    Not scripting. It's an event driven framework, a programming paradigm which isn't really relevant to system scripting. Interested in server side code, not necessarily web-only.

    RedPorts

    Just a quick FYI that isn't covered in the docs... If you just signed up and are scratching your head at your missing SVN repo - new accounts have to be administratively activated manually which will take a bit of time.

    Curious to know which Mellanox cards you're using? Thanks for reporting!

    RedPorts

    In case you missed the news about RedPorts, here's my appreciative punt after having just tried it. Amazing new service for porters wanting to test their ports on various targets and don't have the time/resources to setup an extensive tinderbox. Compliments to the chef(s)!

    which programming language should I use for FreeBSD software

    Well hopefully the OP figured this out, but I'll just mention it anyway... If you're writing software for the FreeBSD project, it should be written in C or POSIX-compliant Bourne Shell (if it's a small utility). Except for a handful of exceptions, there are no other languages in FreeBSD's...

    Google Voice Plugin

    I don't think that plugin is open source, so your only option is to ask le Goog.

    Linux - where does all that mount rage come from?

    Typing mount on a linux system feels like entering a busy public toilet. Poking their sadistic RC systems is similarly discomforting.

    system "freeze" while periodic daily running

    Those scripts scan most file systems that are mounted, so if its bogging your system down it might indicate a faulty storage device. Any kernel disk errors when this happens? Are you performing regular SMART self-tests on your disks?

    Installing FreeBSD 9 source

    The Foundation should make a GUI for this! :p

    FreeBSD has serious problems with focus, longevity, and lifecycle

    Personally my main headache is the interface between users and developers: GNATS. Not everyone has enough time to dedicate sufficient work that warrants commit rights, and the step down from that seems like a giant leap into frustration for contributors. I haven't seen the developer backend of...

    alsa-midi for FreeBSD

    If you can get MIDI drivers working in FreeBSD's OSS implementation, great! Have a look at the existing ports of the ALSA userland libraries (audio/alsa-lib) - they're just the linux libraries with scaffolding to get ALSA apps talking to our OSS.

    mpd 5

    Can you try debug it further? Maybe this can help you: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html Try post on a relevant mailing list too. If you can provide detailed debugging information there's a greater chance this can be fixed.

    Special Characters in fstab and nsmb.conf

    Unfortunately I can't tell you for certain, but for fstab I do suggest you either wrap it in double quotes or escape the space with a backslash, eg: "//user@server[:port1[:port2]]/share node" //user@server[:port1[:port2]]/share\ node I would guess you don't need to do anything for nsmb.conf.

    GEOM_LABEL questions

    There's some confusion about labels here. What you've created is a file system label. Although glabel is responsible for reading those labels, it can not manipulate them in any way. The only labels it can manipulate are "generic" labels (for lack of a better name) that it created in the first...

    FreeBSD Screen Shots

    x11/dmenu is a great companion to Openbox. :) I recommend the Xft patch for it. Hopefully it'll be a simple build option in FreeBSD soon...
