The biggest trouble I have with most of the popular big Linux distributions like Ubuntu is that they develop too quickly with too large of an inexperienced team, and wind up running so fast and heavy they just fall apart eventually. Most mainstream BSD groups seem to have lasted longer with...

It's fairly easy to compile C source code to .S and read what the C code assembled to before full compilation.

Dont forget abcmidi, espeak, and stereo mix recording device (strange tee commands come in handy here). I've also had success streaming between different PCs in a cluster type setup with things like netcat/nc (in case you have really old hardware like 5x Pentium 2 machines or something).

I've been messing around with objdump and such alot a lot lately from binutils, so I thought Id I'd mention the free assembly books like nasm's manual and 'Art of Assembly' etc.

Professors tend to be full of themselves these days, especially in computer science. I am using Damn Small Linux a lot right now, I think Linus is a down to earth guy who can see right through the snob elitism of a lot of the university Ph. D. cliques. More power to him! Just watch "Gangs of...

Maybe this will help: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/arch-handbook/pccard.html EDIT: Or the code (search it for "vendor") here: http://freebsd.active-venture.com/arch-handbook/pci.html

Ya your C file just defines the external function with pointer stuff and never runs it.

The handbook should be under the same BSD license as the OS, but I am not sure about all the legal difficulties. Why are you porting it to Debian linux anyway? There are already alot of linux sites that post manpages and stuff from FreeBSD, couldn't you just download it in htm or something...

Might also look into pflogd but I am not a firewall expert myself so I haven't had to use this much before.

You will also need to edit the DefaultDepth 24 option to 16 the section wblock mentioned. EDIT: The error from log is basically telling you that the videocard isn't big enough to handle the resolution at that colordepth. So you probably only have about 2-4MB VRAM on that card. You...

This is my last idea on this for now, but try to modify the iso, instead of going through all the tar steps, with this from ports: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/sysutils/isomaster/pkg-descr EDIT: You will obviously want to work on a copy of the original iso, this program is...

Ah sorry, that being the case, you might want to try something I have not done myself, except on linux, so I am not sure how it will operate on FreeBSD. It involves compiling mesa3d yourself most likely, but that shouldn't be a big deal. The driver you are wanting is this one...

I might have to try it on the computer I put my GeForce 6 in then, it is currently running Win XP, but dual booting won't be too hard, since I haven't allocated all the disk space yet. I've been wanting to get back into FreeBSD on that machine anyhow, just using it for various gaming needs...

Have a look at "-p" option in tar manpage, just a guess but that might be the problem.

The linux flashplugin doesn't always work for me under the compat layer in BSD. Even when I have followed directions perfectly it can give system errors. Also, last time I went to download the official flash Adobe site said flash 11 would be the last flash for linux. I think they are...

I started as Slackware, they are one of the leaner, but still more full featured ones that don't come with many services enabled to hog system resources on older hardware. I also enjoyed using things like ZipSlack back when it was still sort of unique to have it, when livecds were hard to come...

I will quickly agree with bbzz, now on to the original topic. My understanding is that some of the cloud software is written in cross platform interpreted languages like python, so that much porting isn't necessary, so FreeBSD may already have something similar to run a cloud. The...

The link he posted to the manpage on the function says its in standard library, so should just be in its folder in include. He didn't suggest that you get rid of the h file though, he was saying rename it in your program, so you wouldn't have to touch the standard library files. As a side...

Ah, sorry. I just thought that since the thread was specifically on 96 legacy you had it working.

They said the open source driver didn't work, if you forked out a bit of cash for an NVidia card, I am sure you could use the official nvidia drivers to get acceleration. Just a guess though :D
