Re: looking for an OS and wanting to know if this is the one.]
---BeginMessage--- A good choice for the Windows user would be PC-BSD http://pcbsd.org/?p=download14 primarily due to the easy installation. I have quite a bit experience with it. You would get nice KDE environment very similar to what you had in Windows. It is based on 6.2 Stable and XOrg 7.2. Desktop BSD is less active project and with much smaller user base. The new release based on 6.2 Stable and XOrg 6.9 seems bit baggy. Both systems are pre-configured FreeBSD with extra GUI tools. The only difference is packing system . PC-BSD uses windows like pbi packing system as alternative to standard port system in FreeBSD while DesktopBSD utilizes GUI tools to assist novice user with ports. I would stay a way from the FreeBSD if your sole previous exposure to different Operating Systems was Windows unless you are really willing to sit and learn very intensively. This is primarily due to the fact that initial installation and PC-BSD like configuration is actually the most difficult thing for the casual Desktop user of FreeBSD.

1- Portupgrade broke the thing ?
portupgrade upgraded libraries that were referenced by other objects...for some

2- a make clean/make deinstall/make install is better than a make
deinstall/make reinstall ?
not sure, make clean forces a full rebuild of the port ... i think it goes back
to the point that portupgrade may not realise it needs to update the other
port...if u tell it exactly what to update then it should work too with

Re: how to use an upgraded gcc compiler
The ports version of libxml looks to have been abandoned some time ago, and the non ports version is much newer (ports: 0.3.2, non-ports -.3.8.4) It also seems that libxml-ruby itself is being abandoned in favor of an upgrade, judging from recent activity on And, just as I try always to install on FreeBSD with ports, I try to install all new Ruby on Rails packages using GEM. I cannot figure out how to install libxml-ruby -- I don't understand the errors, and I can't find any info about them on the 'net -- my next move is to try and use the 4.0 gcc compiler I just installed.

The change for db46 will fail because the DB version is hardcoded in

Thus I want another option. Would it be possible to deinstall every port that relates to Xorg 6 and install Xorg 7 as if X never existed? Yes, that is certainly possible, but you should make sure to get *every* port that relates to X.org 6. Anyone care to tell me if pkg_delete xorg* would do, or if there's a better way? No, that is not enough. That misses a few ports. (E.g. dri, libdrm, imake, xterm and probably a couple of others.) What I did recently when I finally decided to switch over from X.org 6.x to 7.x was to delete *all* installed ports. (It was quite a while since I updated my installed ports so more than half of them was in need of updating anyway.) I also made sure to do a 'rm -fr /usr/X11R6' to remove any trace of X.org 6. (This step is important since with X.org 7 /usr/X11R6 is changed to be just a compatibility symlink to /usr/local. If /usr/X11R6 already exists as a standard directory then X.org 7 will refuse to install.) Then I reinstalled everything from scratch from a newly-updated ports tree. It worked just fine. (Which is not surprising since the situation was equivalent to that of a brand-new install of FreeBSD from which one would expect an install of X.org to work fine.) (And if you already have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf you will probably need to adjust that. The Files and Module sections will almost certainly need to be updated to account for new search paths and the like. Easiest way to generate a new file to compare with the old is to run 'Xorg -configure'. Often things will also work fine without any xorg.conf file at all.) -- Insert your favourite quote here.

I like the best newegg.com but you have to check several to get best deals. There are also no sales taxes on internet sales in states. I wanted small but powerful workstation so I ordered Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E4300 it is in states around 120$ It has 775 connection pin so you obviously need a mother board supporting that pin. Motherboard is by far you most important decision so you would carefully have to look the specifications north bridge chip set shout bridge chip set sata controller chip set lan controller chip set on board audio on board video I could give you specification of my mother board but I think it would be better if you find one that you like it and than check each of the above against FreeBSD hardware database (see hardware notice for this) . You should also google your mother board since many people left they hardware specifications and how it behaves under FreeBSD. Probably you could get a solid one for about $120 even less. To get a server board you would probably need $250 at least. You need Hard Drive obviously ~ $40 for about 200Gb You already have RAM Now that also can restrict the choice of your motherboard because you want one that supports RAM you already have. Yours is probably DDR II 553 since it was bought for DeLL. I have DDR II 667 (2 x 1Gb dual channel kit obviously much faster)which I paid ~$50 You could even get DDR II 800 for couple extra bucks DVD-RW ~ $30 You need a good power supply ~ $10 Case, PS/2 mouse and keyboard~$30 So I spent about $400 dollars but my computer is no less than $1000 retail and all my parts are premium quality. The better the computer you want to build the more you would save. There is also a list of FreeBSD hardware vendors on freebsd.org web site.

Whorst problem: They used gcc, but decided to use their own ld, which needs other parameters that are of course not recognised by most OSS. I'd try Sun Studio 11 anyway, it's a great compiler and if the sources are well done it should be working flawlessly. (I once compiled an entire suite of software need for Plone/Zope with it.) As an alternative there's another package called gcc for Sparc systems (gccfss) available from her: http://cooltools.sunsource.net/gcc/ It's a relocatible gcc that can be installed anywhere, and that has been expanded to make use of all Sparc specific features. Didn't try it so far, but heard good things about it. I run cyrus imapd+MD+SpamAssassin in a mailzone. I use software packages from Blastwave for this. Setting things up is easy. Runs very well in the zone (also smarthost for all other machines in the house ;-) Most of the blastwave packages work fine, I use them when I'm in a hurry or don't want to mess around with compilation myself.

Re: Convince me, please!
Well sorry if I'm getting annoying but I think you face the Unix world in the wrong manner. Well you expect to find something you are used to, or something like MS Win you only know. I advise that you should be more open minded, willing to read and spare time to get familiar to the Unix OSes that are around. But the advantages are and the power that these kind of systems offer, which is probably unlimited compared with the Windowz strict and limited way of operating. If you really don't want that kind of power (thus doing what you must faster, better and in a more efficient way) then you are in the wrong place. A good way to start solving all questions concerning the FreeBSD is its handbook or the perhaps the FAQ. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ PS Try some googling or the freebsd official site for more resources.

For instance, if I download and install FreeBSD, will I instantly have a desktop windowing environment that I can navigate in while I figure out what's going on? Will I have a browser and way to setup an internet connection right off the bat? How will I migrate files from other operating systems? I understand you guys have been around for a while, but you don't seem to understand the monumental fear involved in switching operating systems. You need to address those concerns head on from the start. I need to see several screenshots of apps that I can use as alternatives to what I have.

Hello Christopher,
'portupgrade -a' is just enough, '-r' means nothing here.
One of the ports that was updated was vim, which had originally been
installed without X11:
# cd /usr/ports/editors/vim
# NO_GUI=1 make install clean
Now, this option appears to have been lost as I've ended up with a
full X11 installation. Is this the expected behaviour, or did I do
something wrong?
Yes, options are not saved that way and Vim's default is with X11.
Please make sure that the following lines exist in
your /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'editors/vim' = 'NO_GUI=yes',
[... options for other ports ...]
}
Next time portupgrade will honour it (without -P/-PP options, of
course).

Re: Question about failover with ISC DHCP
Hi Luis, I am looking to replace my current DHCP server with the ISC. Right now I have to servers which are working with split scopes. Some of my schools need over 600 IP's, so I have the school with a 255.255.240.0 which give them 16 Class C, network, so to avoid conflicts I assign the 3 lower to one server and the 3 highest to the other.=20 This part is really not clear: you have 16 class C, and you assing 3 and 3? What about the 10 others? Now comes the question, in the following section there is a split of 128. If I give a range of 3 class C's do I set this value to 128 or (128*# Class C Networks)? =20 Fron man dhcpd.conf The split statement split index; The split statement specifies the split between the primary and sec- ondary for the purposes of load balancing. Whenever a client makes a DHCP request, the DHCP server runs a hash on the client identifica- tion. If the hash comes out to less than the split value, the pri- mary answers.If it comes out to equal to or more than the split, the secondary answers. The only meaningful value is 128, and can only be configured on the primary. This is certainly not giving much information, but they suggest you use 128, so try with 128 first. I'd suggest that you let the load balancing run for a while, then you can see how many clients are served by each DHCP server and you may try to fine adjust the split value. I have been using fail-over while I was preparing a new DHCP server recently (so the clients could start using the new server and the leases were transfered from the old to the new machine) and it was really seamless.

I already fixed the problem by export PACKAGESITE= ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/All/ and pkg_add -r xfig-3.2.5 Now xfig works flawlessly. I also synchronized the clock as well but I think that was not a problem. I will have your solution in mind if something like that happen again.

(like the one we use in public libraries) I'm a large proponent of custom-built machines, but there are some cases (like with large companies or educational institutions) where it's simple not feasible to build every machine from scratch with parts, and dealing with Dell via their Gold / Corporate warranty and support is the way to go. That's what I was referring to. I know because I was 1st level IT support for a large department at the University of Washington with over 700~800 machines. There's no way a large amount of custom boxes really would work, and the handful that were present were a pain to deal with more often than not.

Re: portupgrade question

Yes, options are not saved that way and Vim's default is with X11.
Please make sure that the following lines exist in
your /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'editors/vim' = 'NO_GUI=yes',
[... options for other ports ...]
}
Next time portupgrade will honour it (without -P/-PP options, of
course).
As far as I know, portupgrade won't honour this setting vim is upgraded as
a dependency of some other port. (Please correct me if I'm wrong. I
haven't tried this; its just something I read). So the /etc/make.conf
option is better.
Thanks,
