According to the Azureus website there might be a problem with the caching. I tested the old stable version 2.1.0.4 (just copied the jar-file into /usr/local/share/java/classes and renamed it to azureus.jar) and it worked fine. Right now I am using the beta-build 2.2.0.3_B53 (latest B54, still need to test this myself) which seem to be quite stable and faster. Give it a try.

I am looking for stuff that has been written so that people can understand. Let's say this: Multi-threaded SMP architecture capable of executing the kernel in parallel on multiple processors, and with kernel preemption, allowing high priority kernel tasks to preempt other kernel activity, reducing latency. This includes a multi-threaded network stack and a multi-threaded virtual memory subsystem. With FreeBSD 6.x, support for a fully parallel VFS allows the UFS file system to run on multiple processors simultaneously, permitting load sharing of CPU-intensive I/O optimization. In the real world, that ought to sound more like: FreeBSD includes support for symmetric multiprocessing and multithreading. This makes the kernel lock down levels of interfaces and buffers, minimizing the chance of threads on different processors blocking each other, to give maximum performance on multiprocessor systems. Thanks. But then again, if you are new to computers or are not that into the technical stuff, neither the first nor the second description would make much sense, or is easy to understand.

How about the Digital IO section?

The NICs, HDD, USB, CLI work fine. Audio and X-Windows should work too. (I have only tested this on an EPIA M-1, but there it worked without any problems. The onboard graphic chip is fast enough for most 2D application, but it was to slow for me to playback xvid/divx, but an additional PCI graphic card should solve this problem.) When transfering data via ftp I get about 10MB/s up/down. Make buildworld takes about two hours. All in all, it is a nice system and fits my needs. I like it.

Sounds like the same problem Vuze/Azureus has when running on FreeBSD 7. I have made a search on the net and found a thread that fixed it by modifying the file /etc/libmap.conf as follows: [/usr/local/diablo-jre1.5.0/] libpthread.so libc_r.so libpthread.so.2 libc_r.so.6 That work-around only works on FreeBSD 6 (probably because of the change to libthr in FreeBSD 7). When I was testing Vuze again on FreeBSD 7.1-RC1 a few days ago, I noticed that data transfer was happening when using UDP. But normal TCP connections to other peers would time out, hanging during/after the handshake. The connections seemed to be established though. A Vuze developer told me, that transfers via UDP and TCP are using different sets of native java APIs. TCP is non-blocking IO, so there could be a problem in the FreeBSD Java code.

Furthermore, there's lots of stuff now bundled with the Opera web browser that I (personally) found no use for, such as a mail client, IRC client, torrent client, and some other stuff that could easily be called bloatware. I never get the argument about 'bloatware' when it comes to Opera. Yes, there are options not that not everyone needs, but then again, most of the time they do not get loaded / appear in the menu when not used. Also take a look at the size of the installers: Opera 9.64/Windows: Classic Installer, English (US) 4.8 MB English (US) 5.4 MB International 7.2 MB Opera 9.64/FreeBSD 7.x (Static) 7.0 MB Win32 Binaries: midori Win32 v0.1.8 12.9 MB Firefox English (British) 3.5.1 win32 7.6MB Firefox English (British) 3.5.1 linux 9.3MB And there are a lot of features in Opera, for which you will need to download extra extensions in Firefox. But maybe that's only my problem (due to my ancient computer and OS). For me, Opera works much better on older hardware than Firefox. Try Opera. Maybe it works for you.

Re: CPUTYPE for VIA EPIA M-Series Mini-ITX

Most compiling attempts after that ended up with gcc reporting an internal error. Does anyone have a similar system? And what CPUTYPE or local tuning do you recommend? I have a Via Epia PD1 with the same CPU and use: CPUTYPE= i686 Although it does not seem to be mentioned in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf anymore (afaik i686==pentiumpro), it works just fine.

Re: Problems upgrading a 6.0 install to 6.2-RELEASE-p4

I see in section 23.4.1 the steps are: # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot reboot to single user mode that is # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot I did these steps then, and I'm still getting the missing audit group errors. What is this audit group, what's its function, etc.? Since nothing of world has been installed yet, can I simply erase /usr/src and replace with the 6.0-RELEASE cd's, which I have, and then do the cvsup once again. This time doing a mergemaster *before* I buildworld and then installworld? Andy In /usr/src/UPDATING you can find. 20060204: The 'audit' group was added to support the new auditing functionality in the base system. Be sure to follow the directions for updating, including the requirement to run mergemaster -p. Either you add the group manually or you make sure to use mergemaster and merge the required files _correctly_.

Re: Installing FreeBSD on large disk 2TB

This server has a P400 RAID controller with 12 SATA disk drives attached to it. The RAID controller is supported in FreeBSD through the ciss driver. The problem happens when i try to use a RAID larger in size to 2 Terabyte, then the install program freezes and the machine reboots (it cannot find the disk). If the array is smaller than 2 Terabytes then there is no problem, the controller detects the disk and i can install FreeBSD on it. I have tried with i386 and AMD64 versions (the server has a Xeon processor supported by AMD64) Any clue on how to solve it? FreeBSD can't be installed on disks larger than 2 TB?

Re: ports question / compiz-fusion

I've already installed the x11-wm/compiz-fusion port from sources; it all installed well. Since my internet search for how to actually run the thing on FreeBSD ran pretty dry, I've been trying to follow instructions for other [Linux] distributions. But things don't seem to work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to run compiz-fusion after a successful install? I'd prefer to run with Xfce, but Gnome is acceptable too. A pointer to a doc would help. I am playing around with compiz-fusion for a while now on Xfce4. To get started I autostart the following simple script once Xfce is running (which probably can be done better): #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/killall compiz /usr/bin/killall emerald sleep 2 /usr/local/bin/compiz --replace ccp /usr/local/bin/emerald --replace After that, all you need to do is to configure Emerald and compiz so it fits your needs with: %emerald-theme-manager %ccsm Both programs can be found in the right click menu of xfce under settings.
