Does it boot ok on 7.4? Might that be suitable for this box's purpose?
Don't know about booting. I'm looking at multiple installations, which
confuses me as much as anyone :-)
The small server currently running 6.2 I need^W want to get up to 8.x
for the userland camera support.
The desktop I've mostly been referring to previously is a testbed before
I consider buying new hardware - I want to get a system installed, write
some software and get it all running before committing to significant
(at least for me!) expense. The problem being that I see some advantage
in trying debian kfreebsd (I need alsaplayer, and assume this would be
available) - which uses an 8.1 kernel and is where all this started
because it wouldn't boot! If pushed, I'd probably drop back to straight
debian/linux, but I'd rather stick with something I know a little about;
besides I happen to like freebsd :-)
Does that make some sort of sense??
