Posted: ( Fri 30th Jan 2004 03:32:51[PM] UTC )
FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE is the third major 5.x release for the next generation of the FreeBSD Unix system (release notes). For the last few years I only used the 4.x stable releases, waiting for a mature 5.x release to come out before trying it. I felt that the time had come with 5.2, but has it?

FreeBSD : Howtos : Simple FreeBSD installation yields functional desktop system
Posted: ( Fri 9th Jan 2004 06:53:18[AM] UTC )
Many near-religious-level debates revolve around which GNU/Linux distribution is "best." However, we are blessed with two free platforms for desktop usage, the other being BSD. If you can deal with text-based installation and a few post-install commands at the command line, you can install and use FreeBSD 5.1. I got FreeBSD fully installed on a 450MHz AMD K6-III+ system with 512MB of SDRAM and a 36GB 10Krpm SCSI hard disk in just under an hour.

FreeBSD : Articles : Understanding NFS
Posted: ( Wed 20th Feb 2002 06:57:44[AM] UTC )
We\'ve discussed sharing filesystems via SMB a few times. SMB lets you access files shared by a Windows system after jumping through only half a dozen loops. Sharing files with another Unix system is much, much simpler. FreeBSD supports the Unix standard Network File System out of the box. NFS intimidates many junior system administrators, but it\'s really quite simple once you know what\'s going on.
