Thanks for your post, but I am not sure what you are trying to tell me.
I wrote down the (more or less) complete configuration to give people a
chance to comment on it - should they see a need. The main question was
about the graphics part. If you do not use or require high performance
3D, that is fine. I intend to use it - mainly for gaming unter Windows.
And if I have an expensive graphics board in my computer I want it to be
at least of some use and fun under FreeBSD.

Chris

Sorry, but UTF-8 is a *botch*, to put it charitably.

Correction -- UTF-8 is a particular implementation of the botch that is
'variable-width encoding' representation of the glyphs used to represent
printed information.

"Variable-width ecoding" destroys the concept of addressibility -within-
a text.  And, therefore, 'random access'/'direct access' is impossible.

Ditto for concepts like 'read backwards'. 

Not to mention the inevitable, and UNAVOIDABLE problems that occur when
the 'encoding' used for a particular set of data is not represented *IN*
the dataset (or in inextricably-coupled 'metadata').  When one has to
'guess' what the encoding for a particular file is.  

'Assume' -- with all that -that- word implies -- a particular encoding,
when the data is actually encoded with something 'different', and you
can encounter 'illegal' (in the 'assumed' encoding) byte sequences, 
from which there is *NO* means of recovery -- since the 'interpreter'
can't tell how long the 'illegal' code is, it can't tell where the 'next'
symbol should start, and and it just _stops_cold_ ... an apparent 'end of
file'. 

I have had _that_ particular ufortunate experience, with an 'encoding-aware'
text editor (On a Debain Linux system, if it matters), which, on exit 
_SILENTLY_ *truncated* the originl file at the point of the 'illegal' symbol.

The -correct- solution -- if you are in an environment where you need more
glyphs than can be represented by a single byte -- is to use *fixed-width*
multi-byte symbols for _everything_.  This is "relatively easy" to implement
within a single 'system' (be it a single machine, or 'corporate wide'), but
makes for major difficulities when 'external' communication is involved.
There is, unfortunately, simply -no- simple solution for that problem. :((

I know that I will probably get a lot more "bang" from an Intel CPU (in
terms of raw power, especially per CPU-core). However, this computer
will be used in a way where more CPU-cores will actually help more than
fewer cores with more raw power per core. This is partly because full
disc encryption is in place.

I also know that the cost of power is something to consider in the
longrun. This is however a personal computer, the one I use in my spare
time. If I were to worry too much about power, I shouldn't get a
graphics board like the one I am considering. :-) They outweigh the CPU
threefold - even if not constantly. This is a machine that will not run
24/7. Besides, the cost upfront is my main concern at the moment,
because my budget is very limited. ;-)

Chris

about anything will run under Windows, so I won't make a fuss there.
Windows will run on this machine (too), because from time to time I do
enjoy a little gaming. I am not a hardcore-gamer though. About 80% of my
time at the computer is spent "in non-gaming-mode". And I certainly will
not spend extra money to play Crisis in full detail beyond 1080p. I do a
lot of writing, reading, some programming, lots of photo-work and watch
a movie from time to time. Nearly all of these 80% will bei done running
FreeBSD (or PCBSD).



REALLY - i an for a long time not up to date what is "modern" today, as 
FreeBSD and software i use works lightning fast on ANY new computer you 
can buy today - if it works at all.


For personal use, not high load server use, basically everything is fast.

As for compatibility - most SATA controllers, network cards etc do work 
under FreeBSD. for personal use even realtek based network cards is OK.


The real problem is graphics. I do not have any need of high performance 
3D, my laptop and my intel atom based desktop both have integrated intel 
based GFX. it just works. no tweaking, no messing, no binary drivers, no 
trash, no 32-bit only etc.


i am not sure if dual core intel atom E525 would keep up with full HD 
video playing. Probably but i am not sure. Anything stronger will for 
sure.

Disks and RAM are huge and cheap. Plenty of space that is
going to be used. Nobody cares.

> without a GUI.

Again, nobody cares - until, of couse, it's too late and you
need to do some recovery or analytic tasks in a limited
environment or via a connection with limited means.

Regarding the fun of encodings, endianness, representation,
use ("fi" the two letters vs. "fi" the ligature, or "ß"
the 1-byte sequence vs. "ß" the two-byte sequence), see
the following document:

Matt Mayer: Love Hotels and Unicode
http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/love-hotels-and-unicode/

And finally it offers an interesting attack vector, given
the fact that several unicode characters "look" the same,
but in fact are different. So "two files with the 'same'
name" is a possible means that malware implementers can
utilize to mislead the users.

Short example from MICROS~1 land here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mmpc/archive/2011/08/10/can-we-believe-our-eyes.aspx

But this all doesn't negate the usefulness of unicode / UTF-8
in general. Especially when you have collaborative settings
with multi-language document processing requirements, it
is a helpful thing, as working with "normal" (ASCII) letters,
cyrillic ones, chinese and japanese symbols, arabic writing
is no big deal as long as all the tools do properly support
it the _same_ way.

Well, it is no 'project'. I'm writing a diary of what's going on in my
life. And still doing it in ISO 8859-1 environment, but in HTML to
include pictures etc. ISO 8859-1 is still fine for it because I do it in
Spanish for some reasons, and ISO 8859-1 have enough chars, even the tilded
ones like áíóñ... but sometimes I need to include a phrase in another
language, Russian or Greek, or whatever (see the other mail). And so it
is nice to translate this to HTML encodings in ASCII.

That's all.

output-encoding: ascii
indent: auto
wrap: 76
repeated-attributes: keep-last
error-file: errs.txt

Then you can run and get valid ASCII HTML style, for example:

$ echo 'ΜΙΣΟ ΛΙΤΡΟ ΑΘΩΣ ΚΟΚΚΙΝΟ ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΩ' | tidy -config .tidy 

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>

http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>

  

  



  ΜΙΣΟ ΛΙΤΡΟ
  ΑΘΩΣ
  ΚΟΚΚΙΝΟ
  ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΩ



This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
