They might use some CISCO equipment for the router but it would limit them to 10mbs, and he would rather have 100mps. His first thought besides CISCO was Linux, as some of his clients use Linux and it is a good idea to use what your clients use. I have almost zero experience with Linux, but I am a FreeBSD fan, so naturally, I recommended it to him. I tried to give him some of the benefits/hinderances to using either, but I am not well enough versed in Linux to give good data. I was hoping someone on this list might have real data/reasons to use one or the other. Valid concerns are: security, compatibility, stability, flexibility, support, etc. Some concerns I have with Linux are the variety of distros available for Linux, even if clients are using it, which ones are they using, etc. Also, I am naturally biased to FreeBSD because I have used it for quite a while. i feel i have to be the voice of disent here. personally i feel that a router is made to route packets, if cost is an issue then go with a FreeBSD box, but if you can spend a few dollars, get something that was designed to route packets. first of all your concern with the cisco's routers are unfounded. your friend can get a 2620 which has 1 100bT port and a 2621 which has two. Cisco routers are not limited to 10bT connections. even 1700-series routers allow have 100bT ports. you'll find some decent deals on ebay, and cisco support is second to none. as for your DMZ... i doubt you'd want to expose your private network to the public. you'd be better off opening the standard ports for whatever services you need than allowing unresticted access to your internal network. __ Do you Yahoo!?

How do I remove the dependencies created with the make depend I did prior to this failed make? The original problem I had turned out to be a memory issue so the make depend completed successfully. Ran make, and it failed, presumably for the same reason, but, i got a message regarding operands and 'mov'. Unfortunately I do not have that message saved anywhere (d'oh!). I assumed there was another memory issue so I added more swap space and ran make again, about 1/2 through, the machine spontaneously rebooted. I just ran a make clean.

Mergemaster doesn't build anything from source itself. It's a tool for comparing a file presently in your filesystem with a version in a temporary directory newly built from source. You can then choose to keep the old file, install the new file, merge the two files taking bits from each, or just leave it 'til later. The sources for stable and the ports may be obtained by installing cvsup (most folks like the cvsup-without-gui port - fewer dependencies, may build quicker than regular cvsup); copying the ports-supfile and stable-supfile from /usr/share/examples/cvsup to anywhere convenient and editing them as you like; then running cvsup with appropriate flags against those - supfiles. For instance, when not in X, and in the same directory as the - supfiles: cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile then cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile Then make world, rebuild your kernel, use mergemaster using the steps set out in the Handbook. You can upgrade a port after updating the ports sources with cvsup and ports- supfile, without going through make world. If it's a port you haven't installed previously, just cd to the target port directory and: make install clean If you have already installed the port and have also installed the portupgrade port, then wherever you are, just type portupgrade [port name] If you do not have portupgrade installed, cd to the target port directory and make deinstall clean then make install clean Upgrading ports without updating the rest of your system entails some risk, since the port build process will expect current versions of various files and tools. If these are outdated, the application may not work properly once built, or more likely will not build at all. -- Jud To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

This turns apache into your basic RIAA hating, but every college student loving mp3 streaming server. It can play from a list of files, either straight through or randomly. It can also be used to cache mp3's into memory and have the server operate entirely from memory. Enjoy, groove, mp3s not included. Specifically, what you'd have to do is convert your CD collection to MP3, and then you could set up as many streams as you wanted, and players like winamp/xmms could then listen to those streams. Conversion to mp3 would be a slight hassle, but it would allow you to keep more than one cd on the system at a time, so it's a tradeoff. mod_mp3 is in the ports. - Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
