FreeBSD Is Just a Smoot OS to run!

I love FreeBSD.

My main PC has been running BSD for years. I run a desktop, an email server, a web server, and I RIP DVDs all on the same box and I didn't pay a dime for the software.

I like KDE but mostly I am using Fluxbox because it is lighter.

I am writing a document that walks thru how to install a FreeBSD Workstation using FreeBSD 5.3 and KDE.

I will post it on http://www.bsdcertification.com/guid...orkstation.php when the document is finished. I think it will help newbies. I am also thinking of making having a version for Release, Stable, and Current.

I use, as my profile says, OpenBSD 3.6. I use it on my laptop, simply because my wireless card(s) work with it. Until FreeBSD comes out with a prism54 driver or adopts the full wi0 driver from Open, my FreeBSD CDs will continue to collect dust.

I like OpenBSD and FreeBSD, but unfortunately I don't have enough HDD space to install 'em next to Xandros.

eventually I would like to try DragonFlyBSD, the poll was the first that I had heard about it and I am very interested in trying it out after browsing through its websites and forums hopefully I get enough parts scrounged together soon to give it a go!

gentoo-bsd for me.. it's fbsd with portage instead of ports.. still experimental.. nice concept, though.

Interesting idea. But why not just use Ports?

Yes, DragonFlyBSD does indeed look interesting. Just don't expect the maturity level of the 3 major BSDs (Free, Open, Net) from it - DragonFly is still in heavy development, even though they're at version 1.0 now.

Have fun.
