Editorial Hi gang! FreeBSD is plain and simple my all time favorite Unix operating system. And yes: technically speaking it's Unix-like but that's mostly due to licensing concerns. If you look at the backwards compatibility aspects (see /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC, the COMPAT_FREEBSDxx...

Hello :) I hope that I am posting in the right section. My father has a desktop machine with Windows 10 installed and I intend to replace Windows 10 with FreeBSD 11.1-Release. The problem is that I don´t know where should I search in Windows in order to have hardware information to determine...

Hi gang! Editorial SO yeah, at the time of writing I'm sitting behind my latest acquirement: a Dell PowerEdge SC1420, tower model. Its previous owner had no use for it anymore and so it ended up with me. Originally it ran several Windows versions and Ubuntu Linux but because I'm mostly...

Does FreeBSD have Persistent Changes option?

Ey guys, I've been using sysutil/tmux a long time already but right now I'm seriously considering to move back to Screen because I've just about had it with all the weird stuff that surrounds it. I'm wasting way too much time over this. It started a few versions back when I began noticing that...

Note: this is a somewhat opinionated writing, but I can back up all my statements with evidence (and I will). I also want to point out that my post isn't necessarily meant to talk down on Linux (hence not mentioning it in the topic), but after seeing all this I did feel like outing a critical...

Hi, After migrate some Makefile from FreeBSD6 to new one (FreeBSD11) make file doesn't work. Maybe this is caused by something else ? I don't know. Currently I have even such basic Makefile: first: @bin/generator.pl and after make command I get: make: exec(bin/generator.pl) failed...
