Hi,
I'm considering moving from my current ArcLlinux system to FreeBSD, I don't need to live in the bleeding edge, and I'm looking for a more stable system. I'm a complete newbie to BSD. I just learned about it a few days ago (I had heard about it but never looked into it). Now I'm looking forward to give it a serious try.
I tried downloading the memstick 13.1 image (both mini and standard) and ran the checksum test as the instructions suggest, but I seem to always get a corrupt file. I've downloaded the image a few times and checked it both against 512 and 256 checksums and never get them to match. Any hints on what may be causing this or what I may be doing wrong? I tried burning the image to a stick and boot it from an old thinkpad x250 but it doesn't do anything, just black screen. Any alternative to download the image?
I've been on Arch-ish systems for a couple of years and know my way around, but I'm no sysadmin, just a regular linux desktop (laptop) user. I'm an illustrator and musician, not a computer scientist. Just saying so anyone answering get an idea of the type of user they are talking to
Cheers!
