Re: Quiet computer
I am looking for a small computer that is silent or very quiet to sit in a home office.I use this one (3 ethernets): http://shop.tronico.net/pd1100964260.htm?categoryId=0 with 7-CURRENT and I've happily replaced an AMD K6-III 450/384MB Ram using a 4GB Microdrive ( but thats not even close to dualcore =) ). [it could have more RAM tbh...] Wow, that's a pretty sexy machine. But unfortunately not beefy for me :) It's quiet, but actually a downgrade in terms of CPU and RAM It's replacing my very aged 350 mhz server, which I've had for so long because it's so quiet. You really need 2 cores then? Well, my 350 mhz machine *was* going to be replaced by a quad 700mhz machine that I picked up for cheap (for sale now, if anyone is interested), but my home office is now occupied by a long-term guest that isn't willing to deal with the quite loud sound that it produces. 4x700 is certainly way more than I need, but I couldn't pass it up at the price-point. On this 350 mhz machine, I've been meaning to run a specific application but the machine just hasn't been up to it. The problem is that it is quite CPU-intensive, and can remain that way for long periods of time, during which time I'd still like the machine to be usable. The easiest way to get around that is to compartmentalise the processor, which is easiest done with HyperTheading (which I'd like to avoid due to some bad performance experiences, and because it's only available on late Pentiums that require a lot of cooling) or with a dual-CPU or dual-core machine. I figure that nothing with two full CPUs is every going to be quiet because of the cooling required, but there are many dual-core CPUs built around notebook chipsets that can be quite quiet. My MacBook Pro, for instance, is dual-core and very quiet, and so is the Mac Mini (which I'd quickly buy if anyone has anything great to say about FreeBSD on it, especially if the automatic-booting problem is fixed and we can boot directly from EFI). How about: http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/06/21/the_next_generation_of_cool/ ? (this isn't dualcore as well - but signifcant faster than 350mhz) That's a great motherboard and processor combo, but I don't know much about building cases and fans that reduce vibration and sound, so I was hoping for a ready-made solution like Tranquil-PC. I also looked at soundproof enclosures (http:// www.kellsystems.co.uk http://www.keyzone.com/tech/ whisper_cabinets.htm http://www.acoustiproducts.com/en/ acoustirack.asp), but I can't seem to find any in the 6-24U range for less than $800 Any other ideas? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Web server requirements
I did not see the answer to the dynamic content question. I ran 400-500 web sites on a 300 MHz processor until it died. My problems were memory, disk space and bandwidth. If you are going to use perl or modperl for dynamic content, any processor you can buy today will probably be fast enough. If did not see RAID mentioned in the thread, but I would recommend that. If you have a budget, I would spend it on memory, 1GB (more?) and the rest on disks and an ata raid controller.

I'm a FreeBSD fan to the point of wanting to do the RealPlayer port to FreeBSD myself when I first started this job.. but.. they piled me down with meetings and spec-writing before I even got a chance to see it compile once. Which is why I'm so excited that you were so receptive to getting the RealPlayer on FreeBSD. I've been talking to the guy who runs our build environments and he's checking to see if anyone else is using the FreeBSD 5.0 box. If not, we'll upgrade it asap. Do you have any recommendations on hardware for a FreeBSD 6.1 build machine? Also, we're currently only running nightly builds for the stable branch on FreeBSD. Do you think we should be running the current branch as well? That's where all the new functionality is going - like playlists and Windows Media (ahem.. if you have a license for it).

Running X -configure as root generates the file xorg.conf.new, and then running X -config xorg.conf.new, pulls up a generic X screen with a resolution of 1600x1200. I go in and modify the xorg.conf.new file to make the default resolution 1280x1024, and rerun X -config xorg.conf.new, but the resolution is still 1600x1200. This is a wonderful resolution, but it makes everything rather small, and the icons are difficult to see. I am obviously setting something wrong, but I do not know what it is. Might anyone have any suggestions. I really would rather have the resolution be 1280x1024. Thanks for your help!

Re: Two Dell PE1850s keep locking up...

As usual, the manual for ports # man ports will list most of the things you can do with ports. You can take a look at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk for more information.

[FreeBSD] Incoming mail configuration; catch-all e-mail account; virtusertable
People, I want to configure sendmail for incoming mail. I want to funnel all mail destined for a specific domain to a catchall account. On my FreeBSD 5.3 box I looked in /etc/mail/ I found this file: /etc/mail/virtusertable.sample and studied it. I made this file: /etc/mail/virtusertable I put 1 line in it: @mydomain.com catchall I want ... any mail sent to @mydomain.com to land here /var/mail/catchall I assume I am using the right syntax; true? Anyway, I bounced sendmail with the Makefile I found in /etc/mail When I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mail just ends up in the dead.letter file of the sender. When I send mail to a valid user, the mail does get delivered to the right file in /var/mail/ So, how do I setup a catchall mail account? I sense that I'm supposed to do this via /etc/mail/virtusertable but maybe I'm putting in the wrong syntax or I need to configure some other file. If you have any tips for me, please send them to me.

Re: FROM ARGENTINA
Sergio, I'd suggest you install bittorrent on a pc which has a burner. Then, every time you dial up, you will down load a small piece of the freebsd cd. After 2 or 3 weeks , you will have the entire freebsd cd. This is different than ftp which only works well with a high speed connection. So, once you have bittorrent installed on your pc , you will find the freebsd 6.1 .torrent file here: http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080/ I try to use bittorrent for all my downloads now. It is superior to ftp and is almost as easy to use once you have the client installed and you have used it a few times. -Dan On 12/31/89, Sergio Milardovich [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!, my name is sergio and i`m from Argentina, i and too many people in my city was interested in use freebsd but we haven`t got a hight internet conection, so can you send me to Argentina some freeBSD cd`s?, these are the directions: postal code: 2176 adress: san martin 378 city villada country: Argentina State/province: Santa Fe I`m waiting your answer.

Re: [FreeBSD] Incoming mail configuration; catch-all e-mail account; virtusertable
Yes, I used /usr/sbin/adduser to create an account named catchall. And if I send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , the e-mail does appear in /var/mail/catchall Does anyone out there know how to tinker with the configuration of incoming mail on FreeBSD ?? -Dan On 8/20/06, Greg Groth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Do you have a user on your system defined as catchall? I don't think that you can mail directly to a file from virtusertable. You might be able to do this if you define an alias for catchall in the aliases file, or you could add a user catchall set for /usr/bin/nologin.

Re: [FreeBSD] Incoming mail configuration; catch-all e-mail account; virtusertable
Wow, excellent advice. I now have 2 lines in virtusertable [EMAIL PROTECTED] catchall @mydoemain.com catchall Inside of /etc/mail... I then ran make all Then I ran make restart Now, anything sent to mydomain.com , lands in /var/mail/catchall I'm happy.

I've run into problems in the past where a catchall address would not work if it was the only defined. So in my experience, you should have at least two addresses defined in virtusertable like so: [EMAIL PROTECTED] someuser @somedomain.com catchall Also, did you rehash virtusertable after you added the entries? If not, cd into /etc/mail and run 'make all' and then 'make restart'. If you did all the above, and it's still not working, check /var/log/maillog for any indications as to what's going wrong.

That depends on how you enabled them :-) You should have something like this in /var/run/dmesg.boot: pcm0: nVidia nForce2 port 0xe400-0xe4ff,0xe800-0xe87f mem 0xeb00-0xeb000fff irq 21 at device 6.0 on pci0 pcm0: Avance Logic ALC655 AC97 Codec yes: pcm0: nVidia nForce port 0xe400-0xe47f,0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xdc18-0xdc180fff irq 16 at device 6.0 on pci0 pcm0: Analog Devices AD1885 AC97 Codec In this case, you should add to your /boot/loader.conf (creating the file if it doesn't exist): snd_ich_load=YES yes I have that It might also help if you can connect the pcm device to a different IRQ from the nv device; but that depends on your motherboard BIOS. I'm running 5.4 STABLE. I don't have much experience on FreeBSD, how do I change the IRQ for a device? As I say, that depends on your motherboard BIOS. I'd look in the PCI device configuration first. It might also help to move to 6.1. I had problems with sound on this board until I did I attempted to upgrade to 6.1 last week. All went well until make installkernel where I got a 'no disk space' error part way through. I ended up doing a complete reinstall as I somehow ended up with an unbootable system. I'll keep fiddling about anyhow. Thanks for your input. BTW love your brewing fridge!
