Or is this something verified only for the state of development back in August 2007? I have been trying to replicate this. ISC have kindly given me access to their test data but I am seeing Linux performing much slower than FreeBSD with the same ISC workload. Kris, Every couple years we go through this with ISC. They come out with a new version of BIND then claim that nothing other than Linux can run it well. I've seen this nonsense before and it's tiresome. Incidentally, the query tool they used, queryperf, has been changed to dnsperf. Someone needs to look at that port - /usr/ports/dns/dnsperf - as it has a build depend of bind9 - well bind 9.3.4 is part of 6.3-RELEASE and I was rather irked when I ran the dnsperf port maker and the maker stupidly began the process of downloading and building the same version of BIND that I was already running on my server. * I am trying to understand what is different about the ISC configuration but have not yet found the cause. It's called Anti-FreeBSD bias. You won't find anything. e.g. NSD (ports/dns/nsd) is a much faster and more scalable DNS server than BIND (because it is better optimized for the smaller set of features it supports). When you make remarks like that it's no wonder ISC is in the business of slamming FreeBSD. People used to make the same claims about djbdns but I noticed over the last few years they don't seem to be doing that anymore. If nsd is so much better than yank bind out of the base FreeBSD and replace it with nsd. Of course that will make more work for me when I regen our nameservers here since nsd will be the first thing on the rm list. Please save your rhetoric for some other forum. The ISC folks have been working with us to understand what's going on. Did anyone try disabling the onboard NIC and put in an Intel Pro/1000 in the PCI express slot in the server and retest with both Linux and FreeBSD? As I run Proliants for a living, this stuck out to me like a sore thumb. The onboard NIC in the systems they used for the testbed is just shit. Hell, just about anything Broadcom makes is shit. They even managed to screw up the 3c905 ASIC when 3com switched to using them as the supplier (from Lucent)( - I've watched those card versions panic Linux systems and drop massive packets in FreeBSD, when the Lucent-made chipped cards worked fine. I'm not aware of any anit-FreeBSD slams going on; mostly uninformed comments. It's customary in the industry before publishing rather unflattering results to call in the team in charge of the unflattering product and give them a chance to verify that the tester really knew what they were doing. FreeBSD has got slammed a number of times in the past by testers who didn't do this. In fact as I recall the impetus for fixing the extended greater than 16MB memory test was due to a slam in a trade rag from a tester who didn't bother recompiling the FreeBSD kernel to recognize the complete amount of ram in the server, and running it up against Linux. Maybe I am wrong and the ISC team did in fact call you guys in before publishing the results - but the wording of the entire site (not just the test results) indicated they did their testing and informed FreeBSD after the fact. after publishing. Not nice. Ted A weakness of freebsd is its fussyness over hardware in particular network cards, time and time again I see posts here telling people to go out buying expensive intel pro 1000 cards just so they can use the operating system properly when I think its reasonable to expect

Re: gimp error
There is an error in libX11, you have to patch this library. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2007-June/004649.html Cheers, Oliver On Sat, Jun 23, 2007 at 10:59:13AM -0400, Tsu-Fan Cheng wrote: On 6/23/07, Tsu-Fan Cheng [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi, i am using gimp 2.2 on fbsd 6.2, i found that gimp crash when I try to draw a line using tools like brush or pencil, a dot is fine, does anybody have this trouble?? thanks!! not knowing if this would help, here is the message: The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error.

Re: nve driver clarifications with 6.2-RELEASE
hint.nve.0.disabled=1 in /boot/device.hints should do the magic. If have a motherboard with nforce4 (430) chipset, nve isn't even in action, to use the onboard nic I have to use nfe but I don't need the phy patch.

However I understand that the nve driver is a dead-end and that the nfe driver will replace it from 7.0. So in order to use this on our bootstrap system, I will need to rebuild the kernel, taking nve out and compiling nfe (with the relevant PHY patch) in. Is that about the quickest way to fix this? I'd be very interested to know if anyone could suggest a solution that didn't involve rebuilding the kernel.
