Hello dear colleagues.
Through Distro Watch, at https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=freebsd and I reached the FreeBSD website https://www.freebsd.org/ and https://www.freebsd.org/ doc /.
I would like to start by thanking you for creating, developing, maintaining and distributing FreeBSD for free.
Before starting on this operating system, I need to confirm some information, please answer my questions.
1 - What is the minimum hardware specification (Processor and RAM) and what is recommended for running FreeBSD in graphical mode?
The specifications specified are correct at the link: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-hardware.html or https://www.freebsd.org/doc/pt_BR /books/handbook/bsdinstall-hardware.html?
We are a family owned and operated business.
"A FreeBSD installation requires a minimum of 96 MB of RAM and 1.5 GB of free hard drive space. However, such small amounts of memory and disk space are really only suitable for custom applications like embedded appliances. General-purpose desktop systems need more resources 2-4 GB RAM and at least 8 GB hard drive space is a good starting point. "
We are a family owned and operated business.
For me, 2 GB to 4 GB of RAM is equivalent to the system requirements of Windows Vista or Windows 7. Which is very bad… (for me)
We are a family owned and operated business.
Is that my main goal is to reuse donated or discarded computers / notebooks that have about 512 MB up to 2 GB of RAM, with DDR1 or DDR2 technology, Intel processors: Pentium IV, Celeron, Atom and AMD processors: Athlon, Duron and etc.
Due to bad, slow internet, constant connection failures and etc., I can only download programs and any ISO via download manager, without the manager, everything I download is corrupted.
2 - It is only possible to download the programs with a computer (with any FreeBSD operating system or on a Windows) connected on the internet, via pendrive or CD / DVD copy all the programs to the other computers without internet access and manually install the Software? If so, in which directory are the downloaded programs stored and what is the command to install the programs locally?
3 - Is it possible to install packages in which formats or extensions (".tar.bz2", ".tar.bz", ".dep", "rpm" and etc)?
4 - Would there be a version of FreeBSD that requires less processing and less memory?
5 - In one of the pages of the documentation it is written that the installation of FreeBSD does not include the graphical environment or workspace (graphical mode), if I managed to understand, it will be up to the user to choose what they want to be installed, including which workspace they want . In addition to the desktop, the other basic resources, such as: network (LAN and Wi fi), audio, video, USB and etc. will be the same? Does everything have to be prepared by the user?
6 - Questions regarding FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE and FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE at the link: https://www.freebsd.org/where.html, I was unable to find information that explains the difference between these versions of FreeBSD.
7 - I found the biggest ISOs: FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso 4.46 GB of 2019-Nov-01 at the link:
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/12.1/ and FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso 3.89 GB 2019-Nov-01 at the link: https: / /download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/12.1/. With these ISOs can I install FreeBSD on computers or notebooks without internet access, including graphic mode or desktop?
8 - Does it have translation into Brazilian Portuguese or Portuguese from Portugal?
I am fighting the programmed or forced obsolescence of technology that still works and that can be useful or can be reused by others who cannot afford to buy a new computer with each new version of Windows or some Linux distributions that follow the same path, the path of programmed or forced obsolescence of technology.
I thank you for your attention.
Thank you!
