Well, I've only first tried FreeBSD about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and instantly fell in love with it. Most stuff seemed to *work* and when it doesn't there were many, *many* ways to get help.. Google, IRC, Forums, PR's, Mailing Lists, etc, etc.. I first started in the *nix world with FreeSpire, which...

They usually come as one port, such as net/tightvnc. You don't have to run the server but they both come in the same port. Alternatively, depending on what Desktop Environment you use, there might be a DE-specific one, such as gnome-vnc (gnome) or krdesktop (kde) that might interest you.

Not trying to start a big debate here, but wondering what the major differences between portmaster and portupgrade are. I see both used quite a bit, and folks on irc told me that they recommend portmaster, which I have been using. Along with this, what flags do you personally use with each, I...

How would I go about installing a particular version of a port? I read that it's possible using cvsup and date=, or something, but I'm new to BSD and I use portsnap, not cvsup. So.. How would I get a particular version of a port? Do I have to go on the site and get the skeleton every time or...

I wrote to the php5 port maintainer, he said that he'll probably be upgrading the port in late August. That's the latest.

I already tried kldload speaker: :S ... I'll check the bios, but I haven't messed with it, so... :S

I honestly don't know :( Like I said I just did that to see if I could. :P. You might be better off waiting for the official port. Sorry :(

Alright, I'm not 100% sure that it stopped after the portupgrade, but I'm not sure exactly when it stopped. The computer (it's a laptop) used to beep all the time, and .. now I can't get it to beep at all. The only reasonable time I think it could have stopped was a portupgrade...

Upgrading my ports solved this. Sorry for bothering ya, :(

Agreed, same setup on my VPS.

I am running gnome on my laptop, and sound is working fine (when I cat something to /dev/dsp I hear it, etc). However sound refuses to integrate with Gnome. `gnome-volume-control` says "Waiting for sound system to respond" What can I do to fix this? I (re)compiled pulseaudio, but when I run...

I tried doing it, but didn't get anywhere past: ===> Setting user-specified options for php5-5.3.0 and dependencies ===> Patching for php5-5.3.0 ===> Applying FreeBSD patches for php5-5.3.0 Ignoring previously applied (or reversed) patch. 1 out of 1 hunks ignored--saving rejects to...

Hi everyone, I'm very new to FreeBSD (and BSD in general). I'm quite a bit more familiar with Linux, but I wanted to try BSD because I've heard a lot of good things about it. I've installed it on three computers, two desktops (which work fine). The computer in question is a laptop. I've...
