    NetBSD/ Xen combo set-up problem

    Clarity - FreeBSD vs. NetBSD?

    NetBSD is also great if you run non-exotic hardware which is supported by NetBSD. You just have to know what hardware is supported, just like you have to when deploying FreeBSD.

    First release of JabirBSD!

    If that is true, then yes, it would help more people if the work was offered to FreeBSD directly, instead of forking FreeBSD just for this.

    FreeBSD gui login and desktop

    Yes, it is used a lot on servers. You can imagine X on a server is not really a "feature" ;-). It will probably just sit there, requiring (security)updates. What kind of servers? Any kind i guess. Can't really think of anything FreeBSD can't "serve".

    FreeBSD gui login and desktop

    That's right, FreeBSD has no gui on or after the install. There are instructions for installing X in FreeBSD in the amazing handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html PC-BSD does come with a gui.

    Mouse does move in terminal, not in X

    Though i can't really think of any solution, maybe it would be wise to show the InputDevice section from your /etc/X11/xorg.conf that describes your mouse, should you have one. Kind regards

    Should I wait for 8.2-RELEASE or install a 8.1-RELEASE?

    Can you think of any reason not to use 8.1? I upgrade with freebsd-update upgrade -r <some_release> It works great.

    How many backups do you own?

    After losing a few GBs of personal stuff a few years ago (learning the hard way :P), i now have two backups. One backup on the local desktop (second HDD) and one on the network share.

    How to interpret the output of the df -H and df -h commands

    You should look at the Avail column. For file systems smaller than 1 GB it is better to use -h, since -g outputs 0 for those file systems. # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad4s1a 496M 253M 203M 55% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B...
