    Problem with /tmp/ folder

    I have just installed firefox from the ports. When I try to download something I always get this error in Firefox. /tmp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location. ls -lad /tmp/...

    gedit slow start on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE?

    When I open a text document it lasts 2-3 seconds until it is open and I can read and write in it. Is this normal? In other applications I never have a such "lag" of 2-3 seconds. I'm using GNOME2.

All right. Didn't know that. I've read in the handbook about freebsd-update, but it seems like it is not the...
