It was ment to be confidential but because Matt hasn't replied I guess other people should ask him for some more info. Maybe he'll snap and give us some info ;).

Yup. Not much of a secret anymore :P. Matt Olander from IXSystems sent me this message His e-mail is matt@ixsystems.com if you want to contact him. I gathered a little team of beta testers for him in his request but he has stopped replying.

I´m just wondering what your reaction would be if someone made one? One that is similar to Ubuntu. We already have PCBSD but that is with KDE.

Hello everyone. I'm sorry I haven't been posting on updates and such but I'm on vacation to Argentina right now and getting an Internet connection is tricky ;). I'll be back home in a couple of days so I will start sharing some info which let's say was supposed to be secret ;).

pkg_add -r kde4? If you want to compile it from the port then you will first need to get the port by these commands: portsnap fetch && portsnap extract && portsnap update. This will get you the ports collections. cd /usr/ports/x11/kde4 make install clean And this will install kde4. P.S: To...

I have my wireless card working and it was very easy to set it up but the signal is horrible comparing it to Ubuntu. In the same essid Ubuntu gets 96% signal and FreeBSD gets 25% signal if I'm seating right next to the router. /boot/loader.conf: if_wpi_load="YES" wlan_load="YES"...

It seems that many people get mad when I mention Flash, FreeBSD and desktop in the same sentence. So I have a question. Is FreeBSD ONLY for servers? Isn't this against the so-called Unix philosophy? To me the beauty of FreeBSD is that it's up to the user what it will end up as. Am I wrong or...

Wow. Where to begin? That had to be one of the stupidest examples I've heard. FreeBSD is not a multimedia OS nor is it an OS which limits you to one subject. If YOU prefer FreeBSD as server only then good for you. You can do that :). I plan on doing that as well but if I'm able to make it as my...

That's great to know. Thank you brd@ and danger@ :D!

Missing the point? FreeBSD is an OS. It was built on servers in mind but it shouldn't be limited to that only. It has the tools to be a great desktop. It seems your missing the point :). Also for now I've gotten no rude responses. Seems your one of the main with a lot of attitude to share. :stud...

Thank you very much :). I agree that the petition will go unnoticed by Adobe but that's why I'm working with a group to get the attention of Adobe in other ways. I truly think the only thing the petition will do is show Adobe there actually is people who want Flash ported over to FreeBSD and it...

** Major Edit ** I currently have two more people working with me now. They feel that FreeBSD should have it's own native Flash and were still looking for more people to help. Contact me at citsakots@gmail.com if you want to help.

The petition is not going to change NOTHING. That is just so that if people need some backing up of the idea that there is actually people from the FreeBSD that want flash then we could post the petition as proof. What we need to do is get people to write about it and talk about it. Show some...

I know they've been done many times and the petition wont do nothing by itself but it's a nice list to show Adobe that there really are a nice amount of FreeBSD users who want a native Flash player. ** Message ** I understand that MANY people don't care about flash because they don't like it...

** Update ** I posted a thread at the Ubuntu forums. I figured that with the help from the Ubuntu community we could get a little help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1004857 ** Update ** Posted a thread at another popular BSD forum: daemonforums.org...

** Update ** I posted a thread at the PC-BSD forum. http://forums.pcbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12867

Great post. I will post a thread at PC-BSD, DesktopBSD and the Daemon Forums. I also dislike Flash but I think that FreeBSD deserves the same attention especially when now PC-BSD and DesktopBSD is aimed at desktop users. Edit: I'm running dual-boot with a Linux distribution but I personally...

I'm sorry to say but you could say the exact same thing about Linux compared to OS X and Windows but clearly that statement doesn't fly. Haha. Wow, biggest exaggeration I've heard in a while. Flash isn't much compared to MS-Office. The main reason why Adobe isn't interested is because they...
