    some forums problems

    Modern system configuration options

    Go with Subversion, Git or some other VCS. It's simple and should provide enough automation. Git doesn't support partial clones/checkouts, so I had to use Subversion instead. What a pity.

    FreeBSD Kernel Optimizations for Dual Processing Power

    Yes, there are, but stay away from all the optimization flags. They bring more trouble than they're worth, so it's rare that people running FreeBSD will use them. Some optimizations are already done (such as using -O2 or -O3), so the defaults should be fine. If you really insist on using them...

    How did you come to the FreeBSD world?

    FWIW: Windows vs. Linux vs. FreeBSD vs. OSX - 12 dimensional analysis

    I think the blog post is a bit biased, but I have to agree that FreeBSD is a great OS :e.

    Remote backups server using FreeBSD, ZFS, and Rsync

    I'm wondering why both "*" and "**" are used at the end? Is there any particular reason since "*" seems to be sufficient.

    rsbackup: FreeBSD + ZFS + Rsync

    Found a small problem on line 214: rsync_options+=${rsync_opt_append} The "+=" doesn't work for Bourne shell. This should fix it: rsync_options="${rsync_options} ${rsync_opt_append}"

    configure rsync client

    Take a look at Using Rsync and SSH. Although it might be easier at first to use rsnapshot, some people prefer to write their own scripts since it provides more flexibility.

    How often do you update your FreeBSD machines?

    I usually update ports as soon as an update comes out since I don't have many ports installed on my servers. Downtime is usually only a minute or two. As for base, I only upgrade FreeBSD when a vulnerability affects me or when there is a new version (I use RELENG_X_X). The downtime is usually...
