I am a new user of FreeBSD and I managed to install it on virtualbox as a guest after failing to install it directly on my laptop. I will do that after I gain confidence in FreeBSD on virtualbox. However after installation I am unable to access internet from the Guest FreeBSD. I have looked...

When I attempt to load a GUI application (for example a browser like chromium or firefox) via ssh from a guest VM in VirtualBox , the host FreeBSD system crashes. This has happened several times after upgrading from 12.0 to 12.1. My host system is a ThinkPad E490 running 12.1-RELEASE-p3. The DE...

It was a profound surprise to me when I found out that MSI (current and past 2-3 generations) motherboards no long support booting from a PCIe HDD. For at least 15 years I have been using various MSI motherboards with many different PCIe controlled hard drives. My last MB, 990XA-GD55, had 2...

First of all, hello to all members and the FreeBSD staff. First time here, I'm bruno from italy, a FreeBSD addicted (but also to other BSDs and micro-kernel architectures like Minix, and hybrid microkernel-BSD likes such as MacOsX), and a software programmer unemployed at the moment. Thank you...
