    Creating a Home File Share Server

    Given your requirements, I think you'll find (as previously mentioned) FreeNAS to be a good starting point. For ease of administration, simple upgrades and gradual learning curve it's probably your best bet.

    The slow responding of GNOME

    Hi, I actually have the same problem as jilingshu. The difference being I am coming from an upgrade, not a fresh install. My /var/log/messages states Jun 14 11:16:32 fbox gnome-keyring-daemon[88694]: dbus failure unregistering from session: Connection is closed Jun 14 11:16:32 fbox kernel...

    citrix_xenapp segmentation fault

    I can no longer say ( : I too ended up wanting my Citrix client playing nicely with the latest Flash plugin. Currently I'm using FreeBSD 8-STABLE. To be able to use the latest Flash plugin plus Citrix on the same box I went with the classic net/citrix_ica, emulators/linux_base-f10 and...

    Capsicum (bigger and badder sandboxing)

    sh & .xinitrc

    First thing I would do is play with the gap_x and gap_y numbers in your conkyrc for positioning. There are different border parameters. Change them one at a time to see which one makes the difference.

    sh & .xinitrc

    How can I monitor CPU temperature and fan speed?

    I use conky to monitor temps, fan speed, disc and net usage. There are plenty of nicely prepared scripts available. A few people have shared theirs here on the forums.

    portupgrade (or any other) with resuming download

    Since I've switched from using portupgrade to using portmaster, I found one of the nice things is that it automatically flags each port as its upgraded. If the operation is stopped and you resume, it notifies you that it can skip the ports already marked as complete and go from there. Or...

    Installing FreeBSD on VMWare Fusion 3

    I believe I had a similar issue in VMware Fusion 2. I set the VMware network adapter to use a NAT'd connection. Try that first and see if you can get connectivity.

    Wiping drives

    Unfortunately, this has been happening for a while. Here's a relatively recent article on it. There's a number of other articles out there, for going in and out of the states (different rules apply). Most of them are geared for laptop users and international travel. Google is your friend.
