    One reason I don't think I would try Ubuntu

    I've seen a couple of Ubuntu systems. None of them worked out of the box.

    xdm simple theme

    The default ugly xdm is perfect for auto adjust of TFTs over an analogue connection. That's why I never made mine pretty.

    Musicpd don't restart

    It appears I occasionally have this problem as well.

    XORG black screen...

    I would like to recommend chapter 5 of the handbook to you.

    usleep function makes kernel module doesn't load. Why?

    > man libkern No manual entry for libkern > man kern No manual entry for kern I hate it when that happens.

    One of those magic times: On Friday the 13th!

    This number is of no significance. It's far from an overflow even for a signed 32bit integer.

    FreeBSD to rethink target audience?

    Well, simply because it doesn't exist, yet? In my opinion an N-Standard would long have been agreed upon if there weren't all these draft-n things around. They really hinder the progress of wireless standards and thus should not be supported by anyone or anything.

    One reason I don't think I would try Ubuntu

    Just like here. I've come across a number of wrong answers in this place. I've probably given some myself. What bothers me here is a lot of arrogance displayed towards the Linux communities. It's one thing to think such things, but quite another to go public with that elitist bullshit.

    UTF-8 and samba shares

    It's -L. You have to give a complete locale such as en_GB.UTF-8. But that's really just necessary for fstab mounting during boot. Else it will be chosen from your current locale settings.

    Help contribute and make FreeBSD even better!

    Yes, this can happen. Especially with ports the response time is normally way better. Anyway, in my opinion popularity is not the solution to poor communication. The first thing is that users who think a patch would be useful to them should hit the submit followup button and say so. The...

    NTFS file system

    No, you have to use the late option for mounting during boot.

    I have 1471 package and want upgrade all of them

    Well, the safest way is to duplicate the machine, do the update on the duplicate and test it there. If it works, use the duplicate and update the original. How safe you can get all depends on how much time/money/work you are willing to invest.

    what is real different between portupgrade -R and make deinstall and install

    No, this depends on your scenario. For a leaf package portupgrade -R, for a library portupgrade -r. The -f is only for rare cases.

    I have 1471 package and want upgrade all of them

    This would certainly break everything. X depends on lots of libraries and all your Xorg 7.3 (or earlier?) stuff would be linked to lots of libraries that do not exist any more. I suggest you instead turn off the HAL support for Xorg before building it and you'll hardly notice a change with Xorg...

    X.Org 7.4 biggest rubbish ever

    I find it quite bearable when HAL support is turned off. 3D performance has dropped slightly for my Intel onboard video card, but the change is not very significant.

    what is real different between portupgrade -R and make deinstall and install

    Actually you should always use -R with portupgrade when updating a particular port, to make sure everything it depends on is up to date. UPDATING suggests -rf when something that lots of ports depend on is updated and has a library version number change and the depending ports do not get...

    Lot's of spam recently

    I didn't see that happen. In my opinion this place is surprisingly spam-free.

    HOWTO: Nice fonts

    If it's not there you have to create it in your home directory. And it is .gtkrc-2.0. Do not forget about the ..

    HOWTO: Nice fonts

    You know that all that xml-mangling is no longer necessary? You just have to go to /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d and link to all the features you want in /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.avail.
