freebsd

What's the state of getting FreeBSD (or another BSD) to Atom-based 32-bit UEFI SoC PCs such as the Wintel W8? Or perhaps this could be something to work on since I think that many people are looking at such as home servers. The Android 4.4 that some of them have also seems pretty much redundant...

By way of background, I switched over all of my daily driver type computers to Linux Mint 21.1 Vera, from mostly MacOS Mojave about a month ago and I've been impressed with how well it has been going. I won't be going back (I'm sick of the "We won't allow you to install our software on your old...

Hi! Why? What happened with my FreeBSD? Tell me it's temporary. Or is it a problem that can't be fixed.

I purchased an Asus Aspire Switch 10 tablet / laptop with windows 10 yesterday and tried to install FreeBSD. I noticed there was no available 32bit efi in the installer. I have installed OpenBSD now using their 32bit efi with a 64bit install. Is there any way I can install to this hardware with...

Hello everyone, I've recently attempted to get FreeBSD working as my desktop OS, with moderate results (working, but not working great). Most of the problems I faced were related to hardware incompatibilities because I was using hardware that was too new / unsupported. Since I don't want to...

I have another problem. I have two networks (separated from each other, connected via VPN). One is a subnet 192.168.7.0/24 and goes out to the world through router 192.168.7.1 and external IP 7.7.7.7. The other is an external IP 6.6.6.6 and subnet 192.168.6.0/24. I have a FreeBSD router...

Hello, I have a request. I need to set up NAT on one interface. I am using two addressing schemes in one network: 192.168.2.0/24 and 192.168.8.0/24. This was done previously and I cannot change it at the moment. The router, which is based on FreeBSD, has an address of 192.168.2.1 and an alias on...

As stated in the title, I would like to change the kernel of my Unix build from FreeBSD to NetBSD, as I prefer the philosophy of the rump kernel to that of a monolithic, but prefer the lexicography and semantics of FreeBSD's system applications. The current build is FreeBSD, with only sudo...
