Re: BSD logo
2010/7/23 Victor Skovorodnikov vic...@mail.ru Hi! This may sound strange but I have a question about logo. Why such a logo for BSD? What is the meaning of that logo? I have always been thinking of trying FreeBSD but as a Christian I get deterred by its un-Christian logo. Have you considered changing it to something else? Doesn't have to be an angel, but perhaps something neutral ;-) ? I suggest you look at http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/new89/satan.773.html for some more information on this. Victor. //jbaltz -- jerry b. altzmanjba...@gmail.com www.jbaltz.com foo mane padme hum twitter: @lorvax ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: off topic: unmanageable switch?

No smart features OK, this looks like a .1Q frame, let's drop it. This MAC address is active on many ports, let's drop it. 4. STP support Would be nice, just to prevent cabling errors. There is not gonna be deliberate use of duplicate links between the switches to increase availability. Do you require Gigabit ethernet or no? I've had very good experience with Netgear 24-port and 16-port rack mount switches (not the desktop consumer models -- although they too have worked well for me). They have somewhat more robust power supplies than the standard wall-attach transformers, and the FastEthernet models can be had for VERY cheap. (I bought a 24-port model a few years back for just about USD 100.) I've had Netgear switches run without a problem for *years*. Their managed switches, on the other hand, are a nightmare, and I wouldn't use them again if I had the choice.

It has 3 PCI slots and 3 PCI-E slots in addition to the four gigabit LAN ports included on the motherboard - so you can get a total of 28 ports if you fully populate all slots with quad-port NICs (not counting any USB-connected ethernet ports one might add.) It also has built-in graphics so one does not need to waste one slot on a graphics card.) And all this just to *pass packets*; if you're making real *routing* decisions based upon that (i.e. you're making a router rather than a switch), which requires that packets take a trip to the CPU, you'll find yourself coming to the realization that Cisco and Juniper might actually be on to something, there, and that ASICs might actually be worth what you paid for them.

Yep, and if you do buy a whole bunch of quad-port NICs for your PC, then the whole system will probably end up costing quite a bit. It might even turn out to be cheaper to get a real router instead. I don't know about that: Intel quad gigE cards are $250/pop on eBay; Sun qfe cards are a tenth of that price. Have you priced Vendor C or Vendor J routers recently? If you're building a *switch*, you are still price competitive with the bigger vendors. Oh yeah, this is all ONLY for passing ethernet; if you've got other layer-1 technologies to integrate, you're in for a surprise, too.

BTX panic and crash when USB disk is present (6.2-RELEASE)
Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 11:05:30 UTC 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP I just purchased a nice outboard USB 2.0 drive and, well, I'd like to leave that drive plugged in while I reboot my machine. However, when I do so, BTX panics and spews all over the place: (I have to type this in, as I can't get a good screendump except by photographing the video screen with my cellphone camera): BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Consoles; internal video/keyboard BIOS drive C: is disk0 BIOS drive D: is disk1 int=000d err= rgl=00030002 eip=461e ...more lines BTX halted I see this PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=85257 but I'm not quite sure if it's the same issue or not. Any ideas, other than rushing to unplug the device if the machine reboots? //jbaltz -- jerry b. altzman[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.jbaltz.com foo mane padme hum ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
