When I compile a new program from ports, freebsd takes quite a lot of RAM.
Is that something right or it's a flaw? It does happen to you? The main
problem is that not all memory used in compilation is freed, so it can be a
problem (meaning rebooting) after compiling a very big software such as

Skylar,
So, 50% is used for processes and the other 50% to handle hardware
interrupts. Is that right?

I'm new to Freebsd, and the other day I installed FreeBSD and let FreeBSD to
partition my hard disk. Now, when I do df -k I see that the devfs filesystem
mounted on /dev is at 100% of capacity.
$df -k
devfs 1 10 100%/dev
with 1 kb of capacity.
is this normal, or

No! Kernel threads (e.g. handling interrupts) aren't that much different
to normal processes.
Logical CPUs on a single HTT capable CPU share most of the CPU logic,
especially all the external stuff (handling interrupts).

This I suppose is the eternal question, but I'm quite sick of looking around
google without having a detailed step by step process to get the flash
plugin for firefox. There are some that talk about tweaking the kernel and
applying patches? Is it really so difficult having the flash plugin for
most of their sites, as they're inevitably done in flash/java.

Well, I suppose you are talking about the kernel sources, right? Because
saying the sources of the base system is very generic. I'll investigate,

I've compiled ghostview. All ok. But when I try to execute it to view a dvi
file it launches several errors.
Any of you have the same problem?

But no problem I use xdvi now.
Thanks anyway.

In the FreeBSD handbook when it talks about the file flags permissions it
says:
These flags add an additional level of security and control over files, but
not directories.
Well, I am able to put file flags in directories as well.
If I do:
mkdir curric
chflags uchange curric
It works well and

You can run kde apps within gnome as well. I have Gnome and I can run
perfectly k3b. As for fuzziness in the gdm login screen, it is most probably
due to the screen resolution. Set your default in the xorg.conf file.

you recommend for this drive, ext2?, fat?...

I was thinking about using rdiff-backup to do incremental backups and ext2
type filesystem, as I don't use windows at all. Ext2 because I sometimes
switch to Linux. I don't know if FFS is recognized by Linux.

I think modern flavors of Linux support FFS OK, so
