...When re-installing Xubuntu, I would just save a copy of my /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file, put it in place after installation, and then run "dpkg-reconfigure mdadm". Is it that easy in FreeBSD? Will it be easier for me to back the data up elsewhere and format my RAID1 to a different filesystem type?

Thanks. I originally came to FreeBSD from Debian, but that was near 15 years ago now. I never liked DPKG, but it has probably changed a lot in the time since I've used it. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

...and configuring the system. I really don't know if that's better or worse, but I wont go into details since I never dug hard into it. DPKG will make your life a lot easier, and is really quite nice for a basic workstation that you don't want to do a lot of compiling or configuring for...

portage is really nice. It was inspired by FreeBSD ports and basically like port(master|upgrade) with a nice colored interface. Instead of using WITH_ATOM=1 or WITHOUT_ATOM=yes they have a variable use which picks up what supported flags should be included in the binary it creates. Ex...

pkg_tools aren't comparable to apt, they are comparable to dpkg and rpm. I have never used Gentoo/portage, so I can't really comment. What I know is, the added flexibilty of portage really comes down to "flexibility" of GNU/Linux system - eg. a lot of pieces. Ports are used for additional...

It is not working because these patches are intended for Frugalware Linux. Cairo-Compmgr is not in the FreeBSD ports tree yet. If compositing is something that you just cannot live without, I suggest using compiz, or XFCE4 if you want a more lightweight solution. There is also Xcompmgr with...

Oh dear, no. I can confirm that aptitude, apt-get, dpkg all work perfectly on Unbunutuwutu. As does an angry "rm -rf /" whist you shriek imprecations at the accursed thing.

OK, umm, Let me say this first before I continue: I'm still "new" to Computers compared to most people around. I got my VERY first Computer, in September of 1999. I know this because when I got that Computer, it was my Uncle's Computer, and he had an Internet Account on it, and after a week...

...only? No problem. Want to use a mix of binary packages and port installs? No problem. Want to install everything from source via the ports tree? No problem. Want to mix source and binary installs on Linux ... be prepared to spend a lot of time figuring out how dpkg/apt/yum/rpm works.

So which is it :confused:

pkg_add cares about dependencies when used without '-r', unlike dpkg which is a great PITA when you want to add some .deb files which fly around on your hard drive... (sorry for ranting and being off-topic).

...Any work on improving ports and/or packages would be valuable. I've often thought of trying to port/adapt debian's APT to FreeBSD. It should be possible to implement it along side the existing ports and packages infrastructure in the same way that it works along side debian's dpkg...
