Yet Another BSD distro

I haven't been real good about updating this site! I do have a couple of excuses:

• I've been real busy at work. We're working on a Mac OSX port. Once we get a little further, I'm going to try and port it to FreeBSD, which hopefully won't be too difficult.


• Holidays!


• My FreeBSD test machine has been quite flakey. The main, old, small hard drive sometimes fails to wake up, and it takes me a few reboots to get it there. Maybe I should just pull it and start over.


• I'm still frustrated that no disto of BSD will find my KVM mouse. I have to remember to leave a USB mouse plugged into it and switch to using that.

Anyway, here's another BSD distro, only this one is a branch of OpenBSD, of which I know nothing. I guess in the "pocket" description, it is the 'secure' one, as opposed to the 'flexible' one (FreeBSD) or the 'portable' one (NetBSD).

Windows gaming on Linux

Unfortunately, it doesn't run on FreeBSD, but Cadega, the Windows game platform for Linux from Transgaming, looks pretty cool if you're running a supported Linux distro. It emulates DirectX so that you can run a plethora of Windows games directly on Linux. Cool!

Sharing Linux swap space

I've linked about this before, but here's another page that shows you, in excruciating detail, how to have Linux & FreeBSD share a swap partition.

FreeBSD 6.0!

Wow, I never even got a 5.x release to work right! And here is 6.0 released - blink and you miss a major version, I guess. I'll give this release a try too. Maybe it'll work with my KVM switch - ha!

FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE Announcement

PC-BSD 1.0, rc1

The PC-BSD releases are coming hot and heavy now. I actually had a great deal of luck with the previous version. It installed and ran just like it was supposed to. I'll start from scratch with this one and see how it does. Still wish it would work with my KVM switch, though.

New logo for FreeBSD

FreeBSD has a new logo:

It's pretty. Mind you, they've gone to great lengths to assure everyone that they have not dropped their mascot:
