In particular the ida driver is a mess - EISA support in that was busted years ago, then 5.X busted support for more 'modern' systems like the Compaq 1600R HP DL series of systems are kind of a moving target anyway, unfortunately. For those sytems I still use 4.11 (in fact I just setup 2 new 4.11 production systems two days ago) However, 6.0 is a requirement for currently shipping hardware, in particular the Intel series of boxed server motherboards, if you want to use raid and sata drives, since Intel seems to like to change it's motherboard chipsets as fast as most people change their underpants. I'm actually building a 6.0 production server today. (5.4 and earlier will not recognize the disk array) It would be nice if we could get more support for SATA raid in the atacontrol program. Ted On the plus side, I've thrown a lot of hardware at FreeBSD with great success. On the other hand, FreeBSD's primary weakness seems to be the support of newer hardware. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to hear of problems with older hardware as well, and Ted's solution of pairing older hardware with an older release seems reasonable if in fact one has the experience to support the older release. I prefer the idea of the FreeBSD team aiming at only the latest hardware, all I use is brand new server equipment. I don't like the idea that FreeBSD features and performance development could be hampered by the core guys trying to make stuff work on old hardware, This really isn't the issue. Drivers and their development are a different issue than internal kernel changes and such. The problem with breaking old hardware, illustrated by the ida0 driver example, is that the manufacturer (ie: Compaq) comes out with a newer intelligent controller and the documentation on that says it's backwards compatible so the older drivers will still work with it. Then we come to find out that this isn't true - so the driver author modifies the driver to work with the newer controller revision and is pretty sure that his mods won't hose up older controller support, but doesen't have an opportunity to test with it (either doesen't have the hardware or some other reason) in fact if it was a fact that a lot more performance and features could be in 6.x if they dropped support for everything below 1ghz for x86 I would be happy, I got a few older machines but they could go onto NetBSD since its a very similar OS as it has the same rc script system which FreeBSD imported from NetBSD to start with. Admittedly if Microsoft were trying to make Windows XP run well on a 486 it wouldn't be nearly as a likable OS it is today. That's not true either. If Microsoft were trying to make it work on a 486 it would run a lot better on bigger hardware because they would have to prune all the fat off it. Haven't you ever noticed with Windows that the user interface speed is still the same today, with brand new hardware, as it was 10 years ago on older versions of Windows? Try running Windows 98 one day on brand new hardware - it is almost a religious experience. Open a window and Bang - it's there, completely drawn in, so fast you can't even see it draw. THAT is how it's supposed to be. The problem is the stupid consumers don't understand that every year that they buy newer and faster hardware it just helps Microsoft to make their stuff slower. So they never get ahead. AMD64/EMT64 appears to be the mainstream high performance future and should get the most support, although some technologists are saying that Itanium is going to make a come back believe it or not, check out the latest anandtech article for example http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2598 If theres some guy who uses a 386sx 25mhz to run his water gardening sprinkler system he should let go of demanding 6.x work on his system and just use what he needs such as 4.x 6.x will not boot on a 386, the math coprocessor emulator is not in the generic kernel anymore. And if he needs say the latest perl 6 to control his sprinkler system and its not available in 4.x any more then he should just use NetBSD, NetBSD is for all types of hardware and is a fine OS. That is not a FreeBSD issue, that is an issue with the Perl development team and what -they- choose to support. You frankly sound like you have never compiled anything from scratch. The entire point of scripts like 'configure' is to setup options so an application will compile on any OS version. In any case why possibly would you strip out support for compiling on an older BSD version from an application like Perl? Unless the
Better laptop support in 6.0?
A while back I spent a lot of time trying to get FreeBSD 5.3 working on my Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 laptop with no success.

I ran sysinstall, chose ad3 and parition it with: / 512M, /swap 2G, /tmp 3G, /var 4G, /usr 30G, /data 76G. Did an installation with Kern source and documentation.

I rebooted to ad0 (didn't have the FreeBSD boot manager on this drive yet), and found I could no longer login as the regular user and that my root password was the one I had just set up on ad3. I adduser my old login and assigned it the original ID and got back the settings in my home directory, although I don't know what I've doen to the configuration files in /etc. I tried to put the FreeBSD boot manager on ad0 with: boot0cfg -B ad0 but get an erro: boot0cfg: open /de/ad0: no such file or directory I've googled this problem but have found little help except that it shouldn't happen and it should be reported.

Re: Carp and Apache

Dave,
Yes.
Yes both apache servers have the same IP in httpd.conf? or Yes I am

Not certain I can go this route right now anyway as I do not have enough

on using CARP outside of using it with PF.
Thanks,
DAve
The trick with CARP is that it is an IP-level heartbeat, so if you are
running Apache, you want to carp up after you start apache, and carp
down before you stop Apache.
From some test boxes, web0:
ifconfig_fxp1=inet 192.168.1.210 netmask 255.255.255.0
defaultrouter=192.168.1.1
cloned_interfaces=carp0 carp1
Then, web0 application config file:
export CARP_PASS=mekmitasdigoat
# MASTER
export CARP_carp0_IP=192.168.1.206
export CARP_carp0_VHID=1
# SLAVE
export CARP_carp1_IP=192.168.1.207
export CARP_carp1_VHID=2
export CARP_carp1_SKEW=100
Next, the Application control script:
# CARP
carp_ifs=`ifconfig -l | tr ' ' '\n' | grep carp`
# Set up CARP
for carp_if in $carp_ifs; do
eval carp_ip=\$CARP_${carp_if}_IP
eval carp_vhid=\$CARP_${carp_if}_VHID
eval carp_skew=\$CARP_${carp_if}_SKEW
if [ -n $carp_vhid ]; then
carp_vhid=vhid $carp_vhid
fi
if [ -n $carp_skew ]; then
carp_skew=advskew $carp_skew
fi
if [ -n ${carp_ip} -a -n ${carp_vhid} ]; then
ifconfig $carp_if pass $CARP_PASS $carp_vhid $carp_skew
$carp_ip
ifconfig $carp_if down
else
echo WARNING: $carp_if but missing CARP_${carp_if}_IP or
CARP_${carp_if}_VHID!
fi
done
[... later ...]
if [ $status -eq 0 ]; then
echo Apache successfully ${cmd}ed
echo Ready to CARP UP!
if [ -n ${carp_ifs} ]; then
for carp_if in $carp_ifs; do
eval carp_ip=\$CARP_${carp_if}_IP
eval carp_vhid=\$CARP_${carp_if}_VHID
if [ -n ${carp_ip} -a -n ${carp_vhid} ]; then
ifconfig $carp_if up
fi
done
sysctl net.inet.carp.preempt=1
fi
else
echo Apache failed to $cmd
exit 2
fi
Okay, so that's really quite a mess, but basically:
* Set cloned_interfaces in rc.conf to create carpn at boot.
* One IP alias and VHID per CARP IP.
* Set up the backup server with higher advskew.
* For availability, teach you apachectl script to ifconfig the carp
interfaces, ifconfig down, start apache, ifconfig up, and ifconfig
down before stopping / restarting apache.

I have removed BATCH=yes from my /etc/make.conf because
I decided the ability to see default settings for each port in
/var/db/ports/{port dir name}/options is nice. With BATCH=yes
you are assuming a port's configuration file is setting proper
defaults for you, if you let a port blue screen when it is first installed
then at least once you get to see what is available and change them
if you wish.
My position has changed on the usefullness of make config after
thinking it over, it is good to stick a port's options in one place and know
that no matter how you upgrade, manually or with an upgrade tool
the port will get built with consistent options set.

Re: Upgrading to pgsql 8.1 via ports
Pat Maddox [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: So PostgreSQL 8.1 was released a few days ago, and I was looking forward to upgrading to it. Figured it might take a day or two before the changes were made in ports, and was surprised to see that my postgresql packages are still up to date. The packages I have installed are postgresql-server and postgresql-client...which according to freshports.org don't exist! Right now I'm running 8.0, but I guess I have some outdated packages that may have been deleted? I don't know, to be honest. I suspect if you check /usr/ports/MOVED, you would find that they were moved into databases/postgresql81-*. So I've got a few questions. First, should I not be using postgresql-server and postgresql-client? They don't seem to be in /usr/ports/databases anymore, and I definitely installed them from ports. Should I use postgresql81-server now instead? What do I need to do in order to upgrade my system to use pgsql 8.1? If you use portupgrade, there's a nice -o option to do this. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

After installing kernel/world and subsequent reboot, I expected to see a kernel labeled: FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE but am instead seeing: FreeBSD 6.0-RC1 I double-checked my supfile and my tag is indeed RELENG_6. In fact, I've done this twice (cvsup8.us.freebsd.org) to make sure I'm not doing something wrong. I always delete /usr/obj before running make buildkernel.

The two main choices for rebuilding new ports are sysutils/ portupgrade and sysutils/portmanager. portupgrade is considered the default or standard tool, and it works quite well for most things, but has problems with KDE and GNOME in particular. portmanager uses a rather different approach to handling dependencies, which can require more compiler work, but it seems to handles updating KDE and GNOME better than portupgrade does. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Understanding a patch file [OT?]
Hi everyone...
This may be off-topic, but I know someone may be able to help. I am
trying to better understand how to use diff, and moreso, understand it's
output.
In particular, I can't quite grasp exactly what the identifiers in
between @@ and @@ represent exactly. Here is a patch file I created. The
first change looks like it will replace lines 1 through 5, but then I
look at the second change, and it completely confuses me (-11,6 +11,8).
Can someone please clarify why 11 and 8?

Regards, Sasa As was already pointed out portmanager and portupgrade are the automated way of doing it, and both are quite good. To do it the manual way you need to go to the port you want to install and do a make deinstall before the make install otherwise it'll complain about the port already being installed.

What have you done
well I've been using friends for over 15 years started with the first release. Over the yeas I have loved what you people did with the os and how stable. I have also relied on the use of xwindows to get some tasks performed in a quick and easy. I currently run 4.6 and loved the kde and xwindows (XFree86). However, I now have version 4.7, 4.11, 5.4, and now 6.0 and what the sam hill have you guys done with the easy install of xwindows. xorgconfg does not show all the cards, went to install gftp used the ports but the machine ask to go to internet to get additional files. What gives, you took an easy thing and mucked it up. kde3.3 and 3.4 does not act as well as 3.0 and i cant get the resolution up over 800x600. I tried to install xfree86 as suggested in the documentation but it does the make install but it does not install all the files. come on do you want me to go to red hat. you need to clean up the release so that novice users can install and you the most powerful and stable os's that exist. thanks warren schreiner ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I rebooted to ad0 (didn't have the FreeBSD boot manager on this drive yet), and found I could no longer login as the regular user and that my root password was the one I had just set up on ad3. I adduser my old login and assigned it the original ID and got back the settings in my home directory, although I don't know what I've doen to the configuration files in /etc. I tried to put the FreeBSD boot manager on ad0 with: boot0cfg -B ad0 but get an erro: boot0cfg: open /de/ad0: no such file or directory I've googled this problem but have found little help except that it shouldn't happen and it should be reported. I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 stable. I'm temped to start over from scratch but would hate to lose everythin on ad0 without first transferring it to ad3. I've tried to mount ad3 and ad3c (the only references to ad3 in /dev) using: mount /dev/ad3 /mnt/bigdrive but get an error: mount: /dev/ad3 on /mnt/bigdrive: incorrect super block So I'm pretty lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent 4-5 hrs googling for solutions but nothing seems to work. It sure *sounds* like you accidentally did your install to the old disk instead of the new one. If that is the case, then your old data are indeed lost -- overwritten with the new install. Also, it sounds like you were following the advice for moving your whole system to the new disk, whereas the advice for *adding* the new disk to the old one would have been more appropriate. That's the disk formatting tutorial article in the documentation collection. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

kldload dhcp client not working properly after upgrade to 6.0
Hi, I recently upgraded two of the systems under my purview to FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE, both from FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p8. On one of them, everything appeared to work perfectly. On the other, something is definitely fubar'ed. There are two notable symptoms of this that I have seen. The first is minor, the second less so. I have in the /etc/rc.conf of both systems: saver=star I noticed some text on the screwed up system (during boot, I think, my memory is fuzzy about where I saw it) indicating that star_saver could not be loaded. Interesting. So I tried hobbit% sudo kldload star_saver Password: kldload: can't load star_saver: No such file or directory Interesting. So: hobbit% sudo kldload /boot/kernel/star_saver.ko hobbit% kldstat Id Refs AddressSize Name 14 0xc040 657ab0 kernel 21 0xc0a58000 5c3c vesa.ko 31 0xc3728000 2000 star_saver.ko hobbit% If I specify the fully-qualified path, it works. It was working before the upgrade to 6.0. It was and is still working on the other system I upgraded at the same time. The other issue is with adding alias IP addresses to an interface whose primary address is assigned via DHCP. I think it might be related to the above. The non-working system had in its /etc/rc.conf the following lines: ifconfig_rl0=DHCP ifconfig_rl0_alias0=inet 192.168.1.251 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig_rl0_alias1=inet 192.168.1.250 netmask 255.255.255.255 The DHCP server is configured to always assign 192.168.1.6/24 to this machine's NIC. After the upgrade to 6.0, ifconfig -a reported that the rl0 interface had acquired 192.168.1.6 and 192.168.1.250, but not 192.168.1.251! This had rather serious consequences for our network since that is the IP we use for our internal DNS cache. I was able to grab the IP address by typing: sudo ifconfig rl0 inet 192.168.1.251 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias However, this was not sufficient because we need that server to come up when we reboot the machine. So I changed rc.conf to this: defaultrouter=192.168.1.253 ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 #ifconfig_rl0=DHCP ifconfig_rl0_alias0=inet 192.168.1.251 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig_rl0_alias1=inet 192.168.1.250 netmask 255.255.255.255 I then rebooted, and everything worked fine. The machine that has no problems with kldload does not have any IP aliases. The only notable differences between the systems are these: The working system started its life as FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, while the non-working system started its life as FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE. Also, the non-working system is a CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (400.91-MHz 586-class CPU) as reported by dmesg. The working system is a CPU: AMD Athlon(TM) XP1600+ (1059.44-MHz 686-class CPU) (I like underclocking :) Note that the upgrade of the non-working system was performed in several steps: cvsup to RELENG_5_1 and upgrade cvsup to RELENG_5_2 and upgrade cvsup to RELENG_5_3 and upgrade cvsup to RELENG_5_4 and upgrade cvsup to RELENG_6_0 and upgrade After each of these steps, except the final upgrade to 6.0, everything was still working fine. Before each of these steps, with one exception (see below) I copied GENERIC over my own kernel file and 'customized' it by changing the IDENT and removing I486_CPU and I686_CPU. These were the only changes I made. I thought I must have screwed something up during the upgrade, so I repeated the build and install of (6.0) kernel and world as described in the handbook. No dice. I thought I must have incorrectly merged something during the mergemaster, so I ran mergemaster -s and carefully scrutinized each change. Still no dice. Then I realized that before I built world with the RELENG_6_0 source, I had forgotten to copy GENERIC over my own kernel config and modify. So I did that, then built and installed just the kernel. That didn't work, so I then repeated the entire rebuilding world and mergemaster -s again, just in case. Everything went well, but the problem did not go away. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! -- Danny MacMillan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If Microsoft were trying to make it work on a 486 it would run a lot better on bigger hardware because they would have to prune all the fat off it. Haven't you ever noticed with Windows that the user interface speed is still the same today, with brand new hardware, as it was 10 years ago on older versions of Windows? Try running Windows 98 one day on brand new hardware - it is almost a religious experience. Open a window and Bang - it's there, completely drawn in, so fast you can't even see it draw. THAT is how it's supposed to be. The problem is the stupid consumers don't understand that every year that they buy newer and faster hardware it just helps Microsoft to make their stuff slower. So they never get ahead. Windows 98 is what made MS famous for instability and its not even a comparable OS in terms of stability of Windows XP. I believe most tech people have thought the same way in terms of every new versions of MS windows needs a faster PC, and it has a good side of MS as far as I am concerned because without the demand for faster CPUs to run MS Windows the CPU industry would still be sitting around Pentium 2 performance today. Its the same for the Internet if Gates had not put a 'get on the Internet now' icon on all those win95 and 98 during the pc boom days to trigger peoples interest the Internet it wouldn't be as cheap or as fast as it is for end consumers. And if web pages had been only made for dial up to keep modem users happy broadband wouldn't exist or be nearly as cheap. AMD64/EMT64 appears to be the mainstream high performance future and should get the most support, although some technologists are saying that Itanium is going to make a come back believe it or not, check out the latest anandtech article for example http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2598 If theres some guy who uses a 386sx 25mhz to run his water gardening sprinkler system he should let go of demanding 6.x work on his system and just use what he needs such as 4.x 6.x will not boot on a 386, the math coprocessor emulator is not in the generic kernel anymore. I know I used it as an example. And if he needs say the latest perl 6 to control his sprinkler system and its not available in 4.x any more then he should just use NetBSD, NetBSD is for all types of hardware and is a fine OS. That is not a FreeBSD issue, that is an issue with the Perl development team and what -they- choose to support. You frankly sound like you have never compiled anything from scratch.

Re: Status of 6.0 for production systems
I prefer the idea of the FreeBSD team aiming at only the latest hardware, all I use is brand new server equipment. I don't like the idea that FreeBSD features and performance development could be hampered by the core guys trying to make stuff work on old hardware, in fact if it was a fact that a lot more performance and features could be in 6.x if they dropped support for everything below 1ghz for x86 I would be happy Supporting older hardware is not some bad decision made by core, it is a general design and philosophy point of not only FreeBSD, but unix and the community in general. That is a very selfish statement, and rather rediculous actually, that the tens of thousands of people running older hardware (example: Yahoo! - pentium of about half that speed serving hundreds of thousands of http requests per day) should upgrade to 1ghz machines because that's what you use. Even Windows runs on less than that. But you are always welcome to make your own version that supports only that. I said it in terms of an over the top example to maximize a trigger of thoughts in this area of topic, such as an example of movement as those more in the realms of what MS do with what their standard is in hardware support for modern operating systems, luckily I am just 'some guy' on the mailing list and have little what so ever say to what happens on FreeBSD. I don't believe its a very selfish statement at all. When I say get rid of old hardware the one of the largest flow of thoughts that go through my mind is the support future world energy needs. Most scientists tell you that there will be a world energy crisis sometime in the future and people should be prepared to pay money money for the energy they use. Its energy crisis web sites are all over the Internet. While some people fear a nuclear attack from terrorists or nuclear war in general if you want to fear a day of doom some people will tell you there is something even more terrifying and just as destructive coming our way, that is running out of cheap energy, hard to understand? I recommend to any one using a PC for the single use of a home gateway or using power in ways that aren't ideal but simply because energy is cheap simply because they can get away with it the get the DVD 'The End of Suburbia'. It will tell you that as the world hits its energy peak the cost of fuel will always go up in the world market every time there is any kind of issue and barely go back down (as it has lately). They claim the cost of moving around in suburbia will get so expensive that the value of the suburban house will fall through the floor and ruin a lot of lives since most people put their life savings investing in their home assuming it will increase in value over time. http://www.endofsuburbia.com/ http://www.energycrisis.com/ While most people aren't using a pentium 1 to run a water sprinkler system, there are a countless amount of people using machines for things that aren't ideally power efficient. A lot of people using old PCs and Internet gateways in their home network and nothing else. This is a 24 hour PC running just to provide Internet where a basic Netgear home router 500ma device can do it just as well, (5volts * 0.5amp = 2.5watts), a lot of people use FreeBSD as a server in some way on a network and need to keep it somewhat up to date for security reasons this also means 24 hour running. A lot of people on the FreeBSD mailing lists like the idea of getting rid of their clunky old PC routers and still using a good firewall like Packet Filter by using the MIPS based linksys WRT54G router that could run FreeBSD, while there is no port for this on FreeBSD the closest front for this would be NetBSD. Its really a case of the dark side of the force is clouds your vision. Most people who have a properly functioning conscious mind who setup a PC as nothing more then a gateway for a small band of traffic feel a bit of guilt when they do it while others are just ignorant or work under the theme of what they can get away with is OK. Lets just continue this line of thought, how about the rich and powerful nations go dropping barrels of nuclear waste out of airplanes on poor nations, this is something they could probably 'get away with' but its not right thing to do. A lot of people wondered how Steve Jobs could dare change over to Intel chips. In Steve Jobs keynote speech announcing the big move Intel chips was just about entirely stated as because of the 'performance per watt ratio' of Intel CPUs. Check out the picture of the key note speech and look at the bottom of the picture with Intel and IBM's PowerPC processor. http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/tradeshows/2005/WWDC/perfperwatt.jpg Big tech industry is trying to take some responsibility for people and Intel and AMD are already making it easier to build desktop systems using their mobile chips, check out more on Anandtech for that.

That's hilarious really. To mention that the internet was developed long before this on BSD systems probably isn't necessary. It also shouldn't be necessary for anyone who has followed the internet to mention Bill Gates' famous 1994 speech where he said that the internet was a play thing for researchers and academics and that Windows would never need to support TCP/IP. Next year (after someone obviously had a word in his ear) he basically said that Microsoft had just invented TCP/IP. Maybe this is where your confusion is coming from. And in the end I doubt that FreeBSD core team will be responsible for the end of the world lol. It's going a long way past reasonableness, and to answer it adequately would require a flame. Thus this will be my last post on this thread. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
