I do understand the differences in licensing, but I don't know the differences in targeted users and Windoze-bashing. Does anyone here have a problem with people freeloading their operating system?

I'm not personally a political person at all, but I get the feeling that the FreeBSD community (if it's much more capitalist than Linux) would be more closed than Linux because of the differences between them. I would think that the overall FreeBSD scene would look down on everyone ditching...

Linux is very open to everyone, and encourages everyone to use it. It seems like FreeBSD is a lot more quiet. It seems like there's a good difference in quality between FreeBSD and Linux, which is why I've switched to FreeBSD. Is the mood of the FreeBSD community different than that of the Linux...

I already did a forum search, but I wanted to separate my question because I was wondering if anyone knows for an absolute fact that anything is or isn't planned for it. It seems like a serious vulnerability to me, in a way. But I read that remotely, it can only cause a denial of service. I'm...

I've noticed now that print/acroread9 also can't be installed using portaudit because of the linux-f10-pango integer overflow vulnerability. Does anyone know if something is ever going to be done about this problem?

27 :)

There's no way to have GTK programs use the QT theme in use? I've been searching for a way to do it.

Is there an easy way to do this, without changing your firewall configuration? I think I want to silently drop the requests. I'm trying for stealth and invisibility, and trying to pass the GRC Shields Up test, which is where the quote came from. I would like to do this without changing my...

Sorry about that, I should've mentioned that I'm using Xfce. I'm using some GNOME programs, but my Window Manager is Xfce.

I've tried putting numlockx in my .xinitrc and .xsession files, and it won't work. I tried /usr/local/bin/numlockx and numlockx and exec numlockx and it will not work. If I just run numlockx from gnome-terminal, it works fine.

Well, I did it and it's working fine now... I don't feel comfortable with just installing software with vulnerabilities, but it's the only way I see to get it working.

I'm wondering if it's safe to use DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES="yes" when installing linux-f10-pango, to bypass the integer overflow vulnerability. I want to install the Flash plugin, and this is the only thing keeping me from doing it. When I try to install www/nspluginwrapper, it stops because of...

It's flashplugin-mozilla. I ran pkg_delete and tried again and it works fine.

I've installed Firefox 3.6.8 and flashplugin-mozilla-0.4.13_5. To test it, I opened miniclip.com. It stops working and shuts down, so I have to open it up again. Also, http://www.learncpp.com/ is causing this, when I mouse-over the code examples. It freezes up all the way and then shuts down...

Sorry about that. I see now that it has templates, and that they are (as far as I've read) complete firewalls that you can start with and add to. I'll install it pretty soon and try it.

When using System > Administration > Software Update, I keep getting this message: "command 'update-packages' is not known" I tried "make deinstall" and "make reinstall" for the packagekit port, and it has made no difference. I have procfs mounted, also.

Does it have any ready-to-use configurations available? I looked around in the FAQ and the wiki on the fwbuilder site and didn't see any information on it.

The "pango -- integer overflow" vulnerability is keeping me from installing Flash 10, using FreeBSD 8.0. I'm going to wait until this is cleared up. This is not a double-post, because the other thread is specifically linux pango, but the linux pango integer overflow vulnerability I'm planning on...
