I think Microsoft is a lot more open source friendly than people realize. Check out their Orchard project and their WIX installer project. So I see no reason why they wouldn't contribute to FreeBSD.

Did you check with the xfce project to see if they are distributing those still?

I tried this and mountd failed to start. "/my dir" -maproot=root mypc Then I tried this and mountd failed to start again. '/my dir' -maproot=root mypc Then I tried this and mountd started but it didn't work because there were no exports. /my\ dir -maproot=root mypc I looked for...

Even though this is an open source project, I see that things happen as much for business reasons (from my limited point of view). For example, the FreeBSD community wan't wants a new installer, wants a new BSD licensed compiler, and wants better multi-processing/parallel programming. However...

Walk-thru for VMWare tools on FreeBSD 9 I have been bombarded with emails to write an article for VMWare tools on FreeBSD 9. I think because a lot of people want the exact steps that vand777 mentions. So I finally got around to it. So, here it is. Installing VMWare Tools on FreeBSD 9

I am a big fan of PC-BSD. I hope that my article in no way diminishes PC-BSD, and I would like to think I am a big PC-BSD promoter. I believe the first line gives a shout out to PC-BSD and clearly states that this is for those who "want to do it all yourself".

It is never too late to add a good answer to the question. :)

Ok, I found this when I got smart Googled like this: FreeBSD base system GPL site:wiki.freebsd.org http://wiki.freebsd.org/BSDToolchain It has a long term goal listed

It is important that base system be completely GPL-free, which is one of the main reasons the CLANG compiler is being developed. When thinking GPL vs BSD License, in many situations the "free"-ness is the same. For all intents and purposes, for "personal use" there is not much of a difference...

Ok, I got brave and tested hibernation, and my machine resumed from sleep just fine.

My T61p has a lot working. Installs fine. keyboard Light LCD dimmer keys (FN + End, FN + Home) 3D and transparency works with NVIDIA driver It has the following issues on FreeBSD 8.1. It is hard to know if your T410 will have the same or different ones. It doesn't come back from hibernation...

How much space is used in /usr/ports/distfiles? You may have to make distclean on everything. Then delete all your backups, or move them off, see how much space that gets you. Then try to install Open Office again. Worst case, if you cannot free space to build OOO, You may have to build the...

What you need is a Layer 7 filter. So you can filter packets directed to http://www.domain1.tld to one of you internal IPs, and packets directed to http://www.domain2.told to a separate internal IP, etc... I just googled for Layer 7 filter...I didn't see something right away...maybe this...

Other than to submit a Problem Report (PR)? http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html

Boot off a live-CD and check it out. GhostBSD is probably a good live-cd for you to use.

It looks like adobe released a new file, which means a new file size and a new hash. The port says it is maintained by: emulation@FreeBSD.org. So one of us should either submit a PR or email them.

Try running this as root in the port directory: make makesum Then... make install

WPG_GUI Works Hey, I had this post bookmarked as I was looking for a solution too. I just found wpa_gui in ports and got it working. FreeBSD Wireless – Configuring a wireless interface on FreeBSD 8.1 I would still be nice to have one that integrates with KDE.

You can also check out how PCBSD does it. They use create a lagg interface and link it to both the wired and wireless, so no matter which you connect with, you are working. And it is handy for me that the lagg interface uses the same MAC address whether you are wired or wireless. I always...

Sounds like a driver bug an you may have to submit a bug. You could try that tool that makes a kernel module from the windows driver... This months BSD magazine at BSDMag.org talked about it. The handbook has a doc on it here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/config-network-setup.html see...
