@phpwolf: I also have an Asus laptop (A53SV). Specs are very similar to yours. GNOME is running fine for me, so I think the patches should work on your laptop, too. Steps: Grab 10-CURRENT using csup or SVN Apply the latest all.X.Y.patch in http://people.freebsd.org/~kib/drm/ Rebuild world and...

I am using 10-CURRENT. The fan on my Asus laptop is also spinning like crazy. I have powerd on, and it's idle. Seem to remember that 8.2-RELEASE was perfectly fine.

It's possible to change the colours of ls on FreeBSD: ls.

I'm looking for a controller for 8 SAS HDDs. The disks are destined to use ZFS, so JBOD should be enough. Does anyone have suggestions for controllers that work well?

In some cases, rsync is much faster than NFS.

Developers have been testing it, so it should appear in the ports tree soon.

It might be better to buy more drives, e.g. 4x 1 TB and use raidz. Downside is that this will cost more. Creating a pool from a single HDD is a bit risky (I've lost all my data in such a setup).

+1 for Firefox 4. It's been working pretty well.

There are many ways of tuning ZFS. There isn't a best method as setups vary. Try searching the mailing lists since many people have posted tuning stuff (especially Jeremy Chadwick).

The snapshots are still made with GCC. To try FreeBSD compiled with Clang, see Building FreeBSD with Clang.

Check out this article: Using newer version of GCC and binutils with the FreeBSD Ports Collection.

It was bumped to 4 on 8-STABLE as ZFS v28 hasn't been merged back yet.

When you install from Ports, the "work" directories that are created can be removed after the install completes. Either use rm or run make clean Most people just use make install clean to save some typing.

There's a new port for Dovecot 2 now: mail/dovecot2-antispam-plugin.

Here's the link: Java for Firefox 3.6.

Chrome supports Flash because it bundles Adobe Flash Player, so it's actually the same thing as downloading it manually and installing it.

LibreOffice is quite big as well, but it somehow manages to compile a lot faster than OpenOffice.org, so it might be worth a try.

As far as I know, there isn't a preferred location. Including the URL is what most people do.

Submit a PR and post it to the mailing list as well.

Some pages that may help: GlusterFS Gluster 2.0.9 under FreeBSD It seems that an older version of GlusterFS may work although there might be some bugs to iron out. It is also possible that someone may be working on a new port. Try asking on the freebsd-ports@ mailing list to see if anyone is...
