Well I did not know good uptime is measured in 7 days uptime. http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html You can see best OS in the world for servers is (in terms of last 7 days uptime): Windows Server 2003. :)

It's true that there are better open source editing tools out there for pros. The idea is: that is a good thing OpenOffice and LibreOffice exists, because for a small company/startup/indie developer you do not have to pay licenses for OS and for an Office package. Me either do not use OO or LO...

Is this still true regarding Chrome/Chromium: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncerhCLi2o0&feature=player_embedded?

There's a lot of redundant/unused code in OO. From what I've heard they try to clean that code.

Just found that: http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/02/04/200248/libreoffice-developer-community-increasingly-robust "LibreOffice, the community-driven fork of OpenOffice, appears to have a very healthy and growing group of code contributors." Might be useful for people faced to choose between...

Regarding Chromium, some people do not like this: http://chromespot.com/forum/google-chrome-news-and-talk/157-googles-eula-for-chrome-says-the-internet-belongs-to-them-will-you-uninstall.html

Also you should also keep in mind other parameters to the equation: security (is the box available on the internet) and stability. FreeBSD is more stable and more secure. You don't need that video box to crash.

bad bad boy!!! :D

Firefox 10 was released just few days ago. I've noticed that is already available in FreeBSD's Ports. Just cvsup/svn your ports tree. Here's an article on Ars Technica on Firefox 10: http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2012/01/firefox-10-arrives-with-new-dev-tools-and-full-screen-api.ars...

The think is old way (from UNIX) was to use multiple partitions so in case of failure / could be still booted for a rescue process. For that reason / partition did not use soft updates. The problem with this old way, with different partitions for /, /var/, /tmp, /usr is that if you did not...

Is iSCSI production ready? What apps shoud be used for iSCSI?

Read the resources recommended in previous posts and then practice a lot! Use FreeBSD for your daily work, install FreeBSD servers in any place you can and administer them and you will learn by practice. Make notes about what you've learn. Configure a router, firewall, web server, mail server...

It depends on your server purpose. If you just want a web server with php and mysql, to host pages with few hits, even an old machine would do it. So your question is too general.

The news is here: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/01/31/zfs-comes-to-os-x-courtesy-of-apples-former-chief-zfs-architect/ Do you know if GELI would also be available on Mac? (that would be nice!) For many guys that are also using BSD and Linux, OSX platform is replacement for there Windows...

By installing graphics/mesa-demos and running glxinfo | grep -r render I just discovered that I was running X.org (with Intel drivers) on software render mode. That was the problem.

Hi, It is normal to have 10% CPU usage in X.org with KDE4 with no other application open? This is happening on a Quad Core 2.66 CPU machine. 1702 root 1 27 0 441M 299M CPU3 3 1:09 11.67% Xorg CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz (2666.70-MHz...

Hi, I want to run apps remotely via SSH (and I know to do that) but the think is I also want to be able to manually start remotely the X.org server first. I've noticed I can start kde4 from another computer via ssh running just startx. But if I close that ssh connection the server will...

and we are all invited? :D

You don't just physically remove third drive. You also remove it from the pool with zfs remove pool drive command. That way the remaining drives from mirror will not appear as degraded. This could be a good approach for photographers for example that choose also offsite backup. First two mirror...

@gkontos Performance does not matter. You just add the third drive, wait for the pool to rebuild then remove the third drive from the pool. Then move your removed drive to another location for safe data keep. This way you do not need to manually use rsync or other copy tool.
