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. Hmm - let's see now, where does this extra wasted power go? It is turned into heat. Which heats your house. Which means you do A lot of it doesn't, it gets lost to the atmosphere at the power station and in transmission losses. not have to run the furnace so much, thus saving energy there. If you mean gas fired, almost all the heat is generated inside your house There's a huge number of people that heat with electric, and more and more every day since more people are living in apartments these days, and the apartment complexes, particularly the new ones, are going electric baseboard heaters since that way they can bill the resident their exact usage. Also even a gas furnace uses electricity for the blower, quite a lot of it. So you spend more energy to run inefficient PC's and save energy in not running your furnace. Seems to me to be a wash, here. So the saving of C02 emissions by reducing your gas heating is not as great as the extra C02 emissions generated by your PC, by quite a large amount I believe. Older gas furnaces are about 70% efficient, even newer ones are about 80%. A lot of energy goes up the flue. You can get 90% efficient furnaces but they cost double or more than a standard one (I know, I own one) so most people don't buy them. A natural gas fired power plant can get more efficiency. I should also point out that in many areas power is generated by wind. Here in the Pacific NW you can pay a bit extra on your power bill to have all your electricity come from wind if you want. I wish we could have more commitment to sustainable energy in UK but UK governments noise about it _is_ wash sadly. 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. At the ISP I work at we USED to recommend Linksys routers. Then we found that without exception they fail after about a year to two of continuous use. Therefore the person goes and buys another router. Talk about wasted energy of manufacture and increased use of landfill space. That is indeed a waste but consider that in that year the PC at 150 watts has consumed 60 times as much power as the router at 2.5 watts. I make that 1314kWh for the PC and 21.9kWh for the router 24/7 for a year. Anyone know how much power it takes to manufacture and deliver a small router? And maybe other routers last a bit longer. Where this comes back just a little to topic is if an OS such as FreeBSD can be made to run as effectively on an older PC as Windows on a new PC the new PC doesn't have to be manufactured and the old PC doesn't have to go into landfill. And then the FreeBSD project _is_ saving the world. You need to rethink your views on energy. The problem in the world today is not electrical energy. We can generate all the electric power we could ever need using wind energy, for very little more There is actually some debate about how much sustainable energy we can produce globally, and we also have to think about the world tomorrow when low consuming countries convert to consumer societies, eg China. As long as the Chinese government is a dictatorship they will not permit China to become dependent on foreign oil, they are far too paranoid for that. China is the world's sixth largest oil producer, and 60 per cent of its oil consumption is domestically produced. Oil makes up only 23 per cent of the country's total energy consumption, far less than coal, which accounted for 68 per cent, and also less than the world average, which is 40 per cent. According to BP's Statistical Review of World Energy 2005, China consumed 310 million tons of oil in 2004, accounting for 8 per cent of the world total, whereas the United States consumed 938 million tons -- a quarter of the global total and three times China's consumption.

Wrong. WHat jobs said was exactly correct Jobs changed over to Intel for two reasons. First, because Intel gave him a better price on the CPU's. This is also a consideration. Price always is/ However, the main reason was that the performance they needed at the wattage they needed (for laptops) was not on the horizon for PPC. The G5 can compete against the Intel desktop offerings but there was not a laptop G5 coming any time soon [because of energy dissipation) and the G4 for laptops was not cutting it. Rubbish. They could simply use Intel for laptops until IBM got it together. Or signed a letter of intent which would prod IBM. There is nothing inherent in the design of the G5 that makes it so that you cannot make low power and low heat versions of it. Ted. Apple did play some games to try and prod IBM. And your assertion that they could use Intel for laptops until IBM got its act together is hysterical. Glad you aren't running Apple or any other real company. You want them to commit to a much more expensive 2- architecture strategy indefinitely? Why not, every major name brand computer manufacturer produces systems that are either AMD or Intel CPUs. You can compile Darwin - I mean MacOS X for Intel just as easy as for Power PC. And besides, they are going to be doing it anyway - or do you really think Apple is going to turn it's back on all it's Power PC installed base? Right now nobody knows if the public will go for the Intel-based Macs. Apple is claiming the public will but they really don't know. If the public balks and stops buying Macs except for powerPC based ones, Apple will certainly not stop production on the PowerPC stuff. Don't forget the Apple Lisa and what happened to it. How long have you been running FreeBSD? And you still are so ignorant of porting UNIX to other platforms? UNIX was designed to be ported to many different architectures. For that matter the crackers have already broken the weak security and run MacOS X 86 on standard PC hardware: http://www.osx86.theplaceforitall.com/howto/ If I was running Apple I would have opened the specs ages ago. Apple did so and for a while people made Apple clones, then Apple got greedy. Or more specifically, Jobs got greedy. Since he was the one that killed the Mac clones. Jobs had a choice back in 1997 or whenerver he shot down Power Computing. The cloners were making Mac clones better and faster than Apple. Jobs could either circle the wagons and retard Mac development to continue to wring money out of Mac users, or he could concentrate on making Mac software so great and compelling that people would buy it. People are leaving Sparc architecture in droves for everything other than supercomputers, they are going Solaris x86. Why - because the major motherboard makers do it better and cheaper than Sun, and they would do it better and cheaper than Apple if Apple allowed it. That makes a lot of sense. IBM was not interested in making a G5 caliber chip made for laptops. That's what Apple says to justify their switch. There was nothing in their roadmap and nothing technology wise they were showing. Yeah, right they are going to publish their roadmap so Intel can see it. Intel has some nice laptop chipsets and cpus. It is difficult and expensive as is to do a multi year transition and keep support of PPC machines for the sveeral years that they will be doing so after the transition. -IF- they transition and the Intel-based Mac's don't crash and burn like the Apple Lisa. It probably was technically feasible to come up with a G5 caliber laptop chip but IBM was not interested for someone as low volume as Apple. They are much more interested in XBox 360 , Playstation 3 and Nintendo evolution. Other computer manufacturers have no problems using different CPU's in their products. Name one major manufacturer in the same market as Apple that has an indefinite long term strategy of multiple CPUs. I can only think of Big Iron like Sun

Hi all, I am trying to get a Syba 2S1P, chip set NM9835CV, PCI serial board to work in my FBSD 5.4 box.

I suspect the real problem is the PNP, I have the BIOS set for OS PNP, actually I have tried it with it off also and that did not seem to have any effect.

On Wed, 16 Nov 2005 03:31 pm, Eric Murphy wrote: Maybe some body can explain this alittle better then my google searchs and other readings. My question is this: Lets say your installing BSD on some workstation, you dont know the hardware specs of the monitor (Vertical and Horizontal rates ect..) and you need to configure Xorg. Its my understanding that Xorg runs getconfig, which determines the video card type and monitor type. Once it has that information it applys the information gatherd to the xorg config. Is that how it works? I was going to say, it cant just test a bunch of differnt monitor rates that could cause damage to the monitor. Most modern monitors respond to Xorg's enquiry over an I2C bus as to its capabilities. If this doesn't work then maybe: * The monitor is too old. * The monitor doesn't subscribe to the 'standards'. * Somehow the I2C bus is not working. * The monitor manufacturer was overly optermistic when setting up the information base for reporting over I2C You forgot that the video card and Xserver has to support this. Yes, Xorg/XFree86 configuration is a breeze when the X server is able to probe the monitor for the refresh rates. But there's a lot of cards/server combos that this will not work with. And when that happens X configuration is a bitch. What you have to do is trial and error it. For example take the onboard video card on the early Compaq deskpro, it's an S3 based thing. Under the svga server the monitor is properly probed but the driver programs the card wrong and you get problems with the mouse. Under the s3 server the monitor isn't probed but the mouse cursor works. A quick and dirty hack is to boot with the svga server, record the refresh rates from the X log, then reconfigure for the usable server and hard code in the refresh rates learned from the log. Quick and dirty but effective. It's also not something that an inexperienced person would think of. The other problem is the GUI-based config tool won't of course work if the card/monitor combo is too weird. Another solution to that is running the original script configuration tool. There are a lot of X config tricks that aren't mentioned in the Handbook. If the OP had bothered to list what he was working with I might even suggest a few that would help.

There is no software obsolescence issue. Besides making it quite easy to port software to OS X Intel for most people, since the underlying OS and libraries is the same, Apple has invested a ton of money into the Rosetta technology which allows PPC software to continue to run on the Intel boxes. And they are also still introducing PPC machines for a while and will continue to support PPC machines for several years so as to avoid the problem. Once again typical Apple apologizing. When Apple dumped MacOS Classic in favor of MacOS X, all the Apple proponents who for years were saying that MacOS was the best OS in existence, didn't let the door hit them on the ass on the way out of the mac Classic room. Before it MacOS X, MacOS 9 was not known as Classic. Classic is MacOS 9 being hosted *under* MacOS X. Contrary to Ted's revisionist view of Macintosh history, Mac users were pushed to X kicking and screaming in protest. Much the same as when DOS users were forced to use subdirectories. If the Mac users really didn't like it, they would have told Apple to wank off and gone to Windows. Much like the little child who throws a temper tantrum when the parents try to get him to eat his carrots, but when they finally give up and let him alone he eats every carrot in sight. The protesting was completely empty and as fake as a crocodile's tears. Secretly the Mac faithful loved the move to OS X. If they really had been mad at Apple, they would have retaliated by leaving Apple. The fact that they didn't speaks far more volumes than any kicking and screaming. ? classic MacOS (OS 9) was good for the market it was competing in but could not last forever. Apple has the Classic compatibility in OS X and for a few years after OS X was introduced continued to introduce new machines that support OS 9 natively. I can still run lots of my System 7 apps on my G5 under Classic today... no software obsolescence and nothing to worry about hitting me in the ass. I have an Introl C-11 compiler from 1991 for the 68hc11 family which still runs under my old 68k version of MPW, under Classic, under MacOS 10.4.3. One OS hosted under another and one CPU doing soft interpretation of 68k binary code. Generating code for yet a 3rd CPU. And on my lowly 867 MHz Dual G4 its 30x faster than it ever was on native 68k. Hmm - let's see, where's Introl today? Do you suppose that all that backwards compatability helped Introl's sales? ;-) In real world use my 256MB G4-400 MacOS X 10.4.3 Powerbook is faster than my 512MB 2GHz WinXP Pro box at work. But - Chad said that the G4 is a no-go? That the G5 was an absolute requirement for laptop use? Yet your saying that a G4 for a laptop is perfectly acceptable? Then why again ais Apple moving to Intel chips to get laptops? :-) Thats also no small part of why I keep a 450 MHz PII FreeBSD system at work. There is too much real work that needs to be done which is easy in Unix but a pain in Windows. Am not going to waste *my* perfectly good Macintosh at work. If this is planned obsolescence then I love it! The plan is to come out with new gear every few years so as to extract money from the customer base. As I already said in my first post, lots of people are like you - perfectly happy NOT buying the latest Apple product. Apple wants money from them - so Apple has to shake things up.

Most *((cr/h)ackers* (and I use that term VERY loosely (aka:
script kiddies)) are interested in rooting a box, and setting up a
storage/sharing area that is free to them. This may not be
the case,
but it's better to 'observe' your foreign presence first.
I understand the rationale behind this advice, but I
disagree. I made my suggestion plain in another part of this
thread, but (in
general) the first priority should be to disrupt the attack.
For some organizations (universities, especially), computing
resources are our number one asset. We have oodles of cycles
and network bandwidth -- a rooted box directly targets our
valuables, even if it's only doing IRC or warez.
I do agree with you. When it happened to me, generally the whole process
of finding out where the origination of the attack (at least the network
it was launched from), what they had done on the box, how they intruded
in the first place etc was 15 minutes. I understand that in a critical
environment where important data can be compromised it has to be taken
offline as quickly as possible.
Moreover, the longer the hole remains open, the greater the
chance that the attacker will extend the breach. In most
every scenario I can imagine, this is unacceptable. Real
forensic investigation can't really even be performed until
the box is offline; looking at /tmp and other likely trouble
spots is excellent advice, but should come later in the process.
Agreed again. However in at least 3 cases I've dealt with, they were
pretty much the same other than some minor differences. I've always had
backups too. However there is always that fear that they could have
infiltrated other boxen on the network, which if you just 'broke' one
aspect of their intrusion suddenly, may provoke them to do something
nastier then they originally intended.
I guess it's a lose-lose situation any way you look at it.
For now, take a snapshot of the network activity (using lsof,
ngrep, tcpdump, etc); I recommended lsof because it will
reveal all open files and network sockets very quickly. Dump
the output to a file and unplug the machine. tcpdump and
friends will work well, too, and give you a more indepth look
at the network activity, but will also require you to keep
the box up for longer than I'd be comfortable.
OP has some asset that is being threatened or diminished by
this attack, be it his bandwith, CPU cycles, host/network
integrity or self confidence. He needs to identify that asset
and work quickly to protect it. In most cases, this will mean
immediately removing the box and preparing to rebuild the
machine; if he's interested in investigating, he can do that
on an image of the disk (since investigations are of little
use if they ruin the evidence).
Allowing the attack to proceed may be moderately
enlightening, but (from the OP's message) it seems like the
basic problem is known.
Crufty machines attract attacks.

I personally have no experience with IPFW (I have played with IPF a little bit on a test box here) so I will have to think on that a little. I am guessing you suggest IPFW as opposed to IPF correct? I read up on IPFW and IPF in the handbook when I was experimenting with firewalls and the rule syntax and things seemed more logical to me with IPF, but I did not look that far in depth. I only recommend IPFW because that is what I am familiar with. I don't want to start a flame war, as I've been told by others that IPF is just as good. If you are experienced with IPF and understand the syntax of it's rules, by all means, go for it. My servers are also remote so I would have to make sure I didn't firewall myself out when enabling any firewall. ;) Yes, that is always a concern. I've been there/done that before on more than one occasion. There are scripts that can 'reset' to a previous config if this does happen though (I learned the hard way ;) Have you checked your daily cron outputs lately? What do they say?

Note that this happens because FAT doesn't have any concept of an executable setting. In most cases, this isn't really a problem, just an annoyance. Users can always change the permissions of files they own anyway. And if they copy something from the FAT partition to the UFS partition, they own the copy. mount_msdosfs(8) has a -m option (and -M, so you can still have the directories executable) to change the observed permissions. It's an all-or-nothing solution, but that's probably what you want anyway. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: starting services?
I have just installed the Samba3 via the packages in the /stand/sysinstall but am not clear on how to start the daemon. I have had a lot of experience with Linux but have not learned a lot about FreeBSD yet and am working on it. If Samba is all config'ed and ready to roll, I recall the startup command was simply: # /path/to/installation/smbd -D ...and the name service: # /path/to/installation/nmbd -D ...to run it in daemon mode. Also, I have been watching the threads on some hackers breaking into someone's system through PHP and am wondering about how secure FreeBSD really is compared to various default installs of Linux. Not to start a comparison battle, but I just wanted to try to find out a little more about the basic security of FreeBSD as we are looking to use it in a production service. That particular thread apparently was dealing with a breach through PHP. Since the inherent nature of a web server is to provide full access to everyone, it's an easy target to probe for vulns. IMHO, FreeBSD was not at fault here (at least not entirely). It really depends on the particular setup etc, etc ad-infinitum. I will not comment on Linux at all, because I've only touched it a couple times, but if you want scalable, reliable, dependable, rock-solid performance in production, I'd give FBSD a try for certain. No matter what system you run, unless it has no cables attached and is locked in a vault, there will always be the potential for a break-in.

Re: gmirror, gvinum or ccd to mirror root-filesystem under 6.0R
i plan to install 6.0-R in near future and ask myself if i should use gmirror, ccd or gvinum (again) for software-raid for mirroring the root file-system, as to: - reliability, stability issues - performance issues - minimum installation/configuration effort - advantages / disadvantages of gmirror vs. ccd vs. gvinum what are the experiences here ? Personally I currently do not trust vinum at all (any and all of my edge case tests / simulated hardware failures have turned into disasters). ccd I haven't tried, but I have set up root-on-gmirror on at three machines so far. I am very happy with gmirror; I have only observed two major problems so far. Firstly, geom/geom_mirror seems to obtain an exclusive open of the drive. this makes it a royal pain to update the boot sector of a drive while the system is booted with geom having claimed the device (and it doesnt help that boot0cfg does not report the error properly (and the patch i sent has been ignored so far)) Secondly, on at least one occation, the total failure of a mirror (rebuild test and the drive being rebuilt FROM had a bad sector) resulted in a kernel panic. The filesystem was mounted at the time, so I presume this isn't a problem with geom_mirror per se, but rather has to do with an attempt to access a destroyed geom or similar. (This wasn't the root filesystem btw - if it was the root filesystem then the system has a right to panic :)) -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mounting the same NFS shares *without* amd works just fine with the same usage pattern, so the problem appears to be with amd itself and is specific to FreeBSD 6.

You didn't mention what version you are using, so I can only speak definitively on v4. If you installed via the ports/packages, it should have dropped a start up script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d (which is where a lot of the start up/shut down scripts go for various programs). You may have something in there called samba.sh.sample. If you copy it or rename it to samba.sh it will automatically start and stop samba for you as needed. Most likely you are going to have to also edit /etc/rc.conf. Look at the script. If it contains instructions to edit /etc/rc.conf, follow them, or you won't be able to start the service. Usually, a startup script will use rc.subr, and it will require an entry in /etc/rc.conf like this; samba_enable=YES It may also require an entry for any additional flags that you want to use on startup and possibly for the location of the conf file, but all that should be noted in the startup script.

And if they are harmful or not. ==--== 83.30.48.99 - - [16/Nov/2005:23:44:18 +0100] GET / HTTP/1.1 200 1860 http://puttane-grandi-tette.com; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0b; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.2914) 85.106.229.37 - - [16/Nov/2005:23:44:24 +0100] GET / HTTP/1.1 200 1860 http://hosting-siti-adulti.com; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0b; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.2914) [.. etc ..] I've seen Dinesh's reply, and your later response, but I've seen batches of these at various times too, and think it's something other than DNS (though it did look like maybe a test of a distributed fetch, many IPs) These are not normal requests to my apache server. But it seems to listen to them. Am I 'in danger?' No, they're not errors, they're just requests for your home page (GET /) which is presumably 1860 bytes .. the Referer (sic) in each case is one of these apparent porn sites, but could easily be forged - it's unlikely that the pages at the URLs given do in fact have any link to your site; more than likely they want you go check out their stuff looking for one! So there's no danger involved, unless there are enough of them to DoS your server. I tend to deal with such as these by blocking them in apache|httpd.conf so they just get a 403 access denied response, eg: # 1/3/5 multiple browsers, multiple IPs, all the same referrer: SetEnvIfNoCase Referer buy-vicodin-online\.us go_away or in this other case, various different GETs attempting to access various porn URLs as wannabe proxy requests, all from the one IP: # 6/10/5 porn link referers regularly, different browsers .. SetEnvIf Remote_Addr 209\.172\.35\.44 go_away In your case, the browser identification, most likely bogus, is a common factor in each, and could be blocked with such as: BrowserMatch Mozilla/4\.0 \(compatible; MSIE 6\.0b; Windows NT 5\.0; \.NET CLR 1\.0\.2914\) go_away or some unique part of that string. whereas others as above will cycle through different browser strings - there's usually some common thread to such bot-made requests. I only hit on them when they become annoying (but sometimes I'm easily annoyed :) Then of course you'd need something along the lines of: Directory /usr/local/www/data [.. other stuff ..] # 18Mar02 - allow only this file to otherwise denied bots Files robots.txt order allow,deny allow from all /Files order allow,deny allow from all deny from env=go_away /Directory Cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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 This is a bunch of whitewashing as anyone in the tech industry knows. Wrong. WHat jobs said was exactly correct Jobs changed over to Intel for two reasons. First, because Intel gave him a better price on the CPU's. This is also a consideration. Price always is/ However, the main reason was that the performance they needed at the wattage they needed (for laptops) was not on the horizon for PPC. The G5 can compete against the Intel desktop offerings but there was not a laptop G5 coming any time soon [because of energy dissipation) and the G4 for laptops was not cutting it. Rubbish. They could simply use Intel for laptops until IBM got it together. Or signed a letter of intent which would prod IBM. There is nothing inherent in the design of the G5 that makes it so that you cannot make low power and low heat versions of it. Ted. Apple did play some games to try and prod IBM. And your assertion that they could use Intel for laptops until IBM got its act together is hysterical. Glad you aren't running Apple or any other real company. You want them to commit to a much more expensive 2- architecture strategy indefinitely? Why not, every major name brand computer manufacturer produces systems that are either AMD or Intel CPUs. Ted, are you really this dumb or do you just play it in the list. AMD and Intel are the same architecture -- the x86 architecture. And the 64 bit extension is just an extension of that same x86. 2 different physical CPU families but the same architecture. NO comparison. There is no major vendor shipping desktop and laptop computers in more than one architecture of the long haul You can compile Darwin - I mean MacOS X Darwin != Mac OS X. Darwin is the underlying kernel and supporting layers but it is not Mac OS X. There is a lot more to Mac OS X. And you, you obviously can compile Mac OS X for both as Apple has been doing that for several years. And they will continue to do that. But over the long term it is a much more expensive proposition and Apple is a company whose job it is to pull a profit and they try to minimize theor expenses just like everyone else. for Intel just as easy as for Power PC. And besides, they are going to be doing it anyway - or do you really think Apple is going to turn it's back on all it's Power PC installed base? Aha! So forced obsolescence isn't an Apple motive like you earlier claimed as Apple will be supporting both for a while and NOT turning their backs on the installed base. Which is it Ted, forced obsolescence or not? Right now nobody knows if the public will go for the Intel-based Macs. Apple is claiming the public will but they really don't know. If the public balks and stops buying Macs except for powerPC based ones, Apple will certainly not stop production on the PowerPC stuff. Don't forget the Apple Lisa and what happened to it. How long have you been running FreeBSD? Sine 1996 And you still are so ignorant of porting UNIX to other platforms? No, I am not. I am fully aware that unix like and UNIX runs on multiple platforms. It is also a major undertaking. x86 is still the only real stable version of FreeBSD with the x64 version coming along to join it -- a very related architecture btw. UNIX was designed to be ported to many different architectures. For that matter the crackers have already broken the weak security and run MacOS X 86 on standard PC hardware: http://www.osx86.theplaceforitall.com/howto/ The above is irrelevant to the discussion. Apple made the x86 version of OS X. Not some hacker group. The hackers only got the pre- release dev version to run on HW that lacked the Apple security chip. Big deal. It in no way supports any arguments you have made. If I was running Apple I would have opened the specs ages ago. Apple did so and for a while people made Apple clones, then Apple got greedy.

Then why again ais Apple moving to Intel chips to get laptops? :-) Current G4 chips work fine in laptops and allow people to get their work done. Some people need more. But G4s are not competitive with the Intel competition and into the future would be even less competitive. Long term Apple needed a new solution. They chose what they feel (and probably is) the best solution. Personally I would rather have had AMD but the current AMD laptop solution (and laptops were Apple's biggest concerns IMHO) is not as strong and Intel is seen as a stronger partner. It is all irrelevant anyway as AMD and Intel are the same architecture anyway and so Apple could easily move to AMD or to a mix without SW issues.

[summary] Apple intel transition (was: Re: Status of 6.0 for production systems)

As I already said in my first post, lots of people are like you - perfectly happy NOT buying the latest Apple product. Apple wants money from them - so Apple has to shake things up. Those same people will continue to use their older Apple HW. No need for them to be shook up. You make claims but have nothing more than your opinion to support it. Logic doesn't even support it. This is pretty much the gist of it: Ted maintains that the or a major reason for Apple to switch to Intel was to force an extra HW upgrade cycle amongst Mac users to generate more revenue than they would otherwise have gotten by maintaining the PPC as their architecture for OS X / Macintosh. He used the word greed to describe this. This ignores the fact that Apple is doing everything they possibly can, at great expense, to make sure that the PPC Macs are fully supported and usable after the transition. Very few people will upgrade their Macs sooner due to this transition and so most upgrades will happen on the normal HW upgrade cycle that an particular Mac user follows. Hence there is no short term economic benefit to this transition as no extra HW cycle will in general take place.There may be long term economic benefits from this decision based on component costs, RD costs, etc. but Ted's greed argument falls flat on its face. There will of course be some upgrades to Intel platform by typical power-user/early adopter/tech weenie type people who are interested in the technology itself, but not enough to set any sort of macro trend or to have a meaningful padding of the Apple bottom line. The same kind of people are probably buying the Quad G5 now (I know I want one :-) ). Chad most of whose Macs are built from parts from eBay and parts shops and PC parts [total 3 Macs in the last 3 years -- personal and business owned], though he does have 3 original purchased Macs from Apple since 1998 [all business owned], 1 of which has been passed on to others. Also has built numerous x86 architecture based (mostly AMD chips) FreeBSD boxes and one Solaris 10 box.

PAE was the first attempt at supporting more than 4GB of address space, but I gather it requires doing bank swapping or something fairly awkward that doesn't play too well with VM, whereas PSE-36 integrates more easily. The other point you've made is correct, that is, a fair number of drivers don't understand PAE/PSE36 yet, and will not work using it-- generally because the hardware associated with the driver has a DMA engine which is limited to 32-bit addressing. You end up having to double-buffer or use DMA bounce buffers, whatever phrase you wish to use. :-) This link seems to have a more complete description: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/pae_os.mspx -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
