    Finding and using the correct program(s)

    Hello All. I have a question, I am running FreeBSD and I have KDE, XFCE, and Fluxbox installed. I run fluxbox 99% of the time and I was just putting together my menu file when I realized that I had to log off and into KDE to see what programs were available to me. ( Eventually, I will...

    This article was the main reason I actually decided to try BSD and it made me actually fall in love with the OS. I actually even wrote the guy a thank you letter for writing such an awesome article... but no response :*(

    Linux vs. BSD = No real difference?

    It comes pre-installed with PCBSD. So I would assume it's in the ports. I haven't tried it but I can confirm that it's there.

    Linux vs. BSD = No real difference?

    >>I know and I prefer BSD, I really like the "Weather" BSD brings with it, that might not make any sence but in Arabic it sounds good :D I guess I kinda missed the point of my own question. I guess what I was getting at is that the Os's are SO very similar it is strange that there is any...

    Linux vs. BSD = No real difference?

    I hear a lot of people talking about Linux vs BSD but having been using BSD exclusively for a while now I can't honestly say that I have seen a WHOLE lot of difference compared to the various Linux distros. 99% of all the commands are the same, the interface is nothing shocking that a Linux...

    Are there REAL benefits to using vi/m?

    Are there REAL benefits to using vi/m? Not saying that vi or vim are bad in any way in fact I can see how it would be very useful to someone throwing out a mass amount of C or something. But for the average geek like me is it really worth the effort to learn more than just :q! ?

    I Want to use the CLI more.

    "@OP: Just for the sake of clarity, we're not saying (at least I'm not) that KDE is evil dirty crap, that anyone who uses it is an idiot and that you should never ever use it again. Or something like that. " I understand. I love KDE, in my opinion it is probibly one of the slickest GUIs out...

    How do I deal with frequent unclean shutdowns?

    Hello. This is my problem. I have FreeBSD 7 on a 5 year old laptop. It actually works pretty well but it has no battery and occasionally for whatever reason it shuts itself down. Just out of the blue like someone pulled the plug. It's obviously some hardware malfunction. Since I installed...
