Lots of users wouldn't have been happy trying to use Windows server 2003 as a desktop either, unless they knew how to configure it, and liked something clean and vanilla, without un-needed junk, as a base. Hardware support aside. Essentially this whole convo is trying to make FreeBSD what it's not.

Like you totally really should give up now, cause like its way totally hard to read good, and searching thingies, and it will not make you happy. And like no one is going to package up a bunch of images, to instantly please you.

Daisuke, thank you. I have always admired your screenshots, every since back when I joined. Glad your upgrades went well also. cra1g321, thank you too. Somedays I wonder about the productivity, though.

Slightly old, but only recently have I found a decent host for huge desktop shots. (Or atleast they appear to be decent so far.) Damn I sure love x11-wm/openbox. Not only does it work well, but by being able to right click anywhere, and get my menu, it saves mouse movements back and forth to a...

Hello all, I bumped my system up to 9.0-RC2, to avoid the mentioned issues in the advisory for 9.0-RELEASE, and I noticed I filled up about 1GB of hard drive space, unless my mind is playing tricks on me. Admittedly I haven't checked into the work directories at the moment yet, but have to...

freebsd-update(8) still no.... Maybe Im just thinking stupid, but I would think upgrade solutions for existing FreeBSD users, would have been released before fresh .iso images. Not implying that's what normally happens. Just a thought.

I think you may end up wishing you couldn't find it. Was a broken pile last time I tried it also, and I think I read even more is broken nowdays.

Replace your keyboard.

Hopefully never. This is one thing I like about FreeBSD, it doesn't hold your hand, and an added plus, that slightly keeps the people who dont want to learn away. A noob can install and run FreeBSD fine, but it requires effort. There are people who just want to install something for the hell...

Either install emulators/linux_base-f10 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/linuxemu-lbc-install.html Then: cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver make clean install clean Or, uncheck the Linux compatibility in the driver (which I wouldn't recommend for a desktop.) cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver...

I'm starting to really think you just like to argue with me. Lets go ahead and cover whats been said here... You mentioned the guide had useless steps, and that nspluginwrapper would install flash for you, yet the handboook even says to install flash after nspluginwrapper. Also speaking of...

Still I don't see anything "bad", and I have gotten caught up in dependency hell with the Linux base before, back on FreeBSD 8.0. Maybe its not an issue anymore, but a couple lines in make.conf sure seemed to solve a lot of headaches for me. How is its hard to hunt down flash player? Just the...

Care to explain what it does that's bad? Edit: To the OP...I said FreeBSD 9..ffs.

I said "I imagine". And I would have hoped you would have at least gave it a read before responding. Just for giggles, and to verify, I went ahead and built www/firefox since last posting. Am now running version 8.0, with www/linux-f10-flashplugin11, using emulators/linux_base-f10 on FreeBSD...

HOW TO: Flash10 plugin, Firefox3 and FreeBSD 7.2 or higher Works on 7 (haven't updated yet), and I imagine 8 also, with FreeBSD 9.0. Read through it, and you should be able to get your flash plugin working. I don't use java, cant help you there. Would imagine there is info here on the forum...

Well, granted it is IP based uptime, there could, and should be failover in place, but there still very well could be some single machines in that mix. Slightly offtopic, but what bothers me more about that list, is there is no BSD listed, 6 years ago, it was ruled by BSD, and Linux machines.

lol, worrying about security on an internal loghost. Maybe that's why there is no BSD on the top of the Netcraft longest running uptimes, most everyone is paranoid? These Windows servers are probably really in trouble.....http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html

Wow, very cool, thank you. I like reports of long uptimes, myself.
