missing ORIGIN
I just ran a 'portmaster -a' on my FreebSD-8.2/x86 box and portmaster decided to terminate itself, ten times. While that in of itself is kinda of, the stranger part is why the only two manually installed FreeBSD packages were from my HPT SATAII/RAID card... Every time I run portmaster, I get the following two items printed, repeatedly. pkg_info: package hptraidconf-3.5 has no origin recorded pkg_info: package hptsvr-3.13 has no origin recorded and it's rather annoying, I do need the utility installed to monitor the card as it's hosting two 750GB drives in a raid1 hardware array w/ ZFS ontop.

Doesn't that make sense. If the scheduler can't put two threads from the same process on a core, it puts two processes running in the same binary.

Re: Hi
--As of August 28, 2011 2:09:30 PM -0700, Spencer Thompson is alleged to have said: Dear FreeBSD.org, I would like to order a CD with FreeBSD for an IBM Thinkpad. What is the best package to get? Will it work perfectly? I want a package with the manual, man-pages and how to use FreeBSD perfectly in books. First off: Is this a new machine, or an older one? IBM hasn't made Thinkpads in at least five years: They sold the business to Lenovo. (Who has kept up the quality and design.) If it's a new machine, which machine is it? Most of the current-generation Thinkpads use the integrated Sandy Bridge graphics. This is supported in -CURRENT, but not in 8.2. There is also a keyboard interaction at boot under 8.2, that has been fixed. What does Free in FreeBSD mean? Does it mean Free as in Free of charge? Or is there an alternate meaning? Free of charge, free to use, free to read the source, free to modify, free to redistribute. Most definitions of free are covered. ;) I'm wanting the best operating system for my laptop. Is this the one? Why is it free of charge when I want to pay for it? I don't want something stupid. As others have said 'best' is an opinion, and dependent on which use you are putting the laptop to. It is a very good one, for many uses. However, given that you sound like a newcomer to the UNIX/OSS software world, and that *currently* your likely hardware (if you are buying a new Thinkpad) isn't fully supported by the standard distribution, FreeBSD may not be for you at this time.

I might be wrong, but that would be the result I expect if I were to pass -j2 to a dual core CPU. If I wanted the the compilation to run on both core I would use -j3. The good old "number of cores+1". I think the last compilation "slot" is used to prepare the next compile/do trivial compile, so that the cores dedicated to compile can switch from one task to the next faster. The interesting test to do would be if you do -j3 would ULE assign the second compile to HT or to second core. During that process, I also watched CPU utilization in top(1). The peak was 46% idle, which means that HTT appeared to be making at most a 4% difference. (If the peak were 50% idle, HTT would be doing nothing at all, because top(1) can't tell that there aren't really 4 CPUs.) H.T varies greatly from one processor to the next, on the Pentium 4 1st gen it is a sad joke, on the Atom it is a small help for easy tasks, on i7 it is almost as good as a real core (Translation : if you use only the HT of a core you will get roughly the same perfs as if you use only the direct core) None the less H.T is just another entry point on the same core, so if HT is not used at all you will have 100% CPU power on direct, if direct is not used at all you will have 30%-95% cpu power on HT (depending on the processor). If both are used at he same time you will get between 45%+20% (P4 1st gen) to 50%+45% (i7 last gen). But since raw CPU power is not the only thing that matters in real world you can get up to +25% perfs on a I7 with HT enabled. --Brett Glass ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

"Working perfectly" depends on your usage. If some here tells you "yes" (or "no"), without asking for more _and_ precise details, you'll be right to have doubt. I'm wanting the best operating system for my laptop. IMHO, You'd better look for the best OS for you _usage_. Is this the one? Why is it free of charge when I want to pay for it? I don't want something stupid. Please, be serious :-). Wanting the best is very good, but if you dont share several element of your criteria, it wont be possible to help. I don't want to read the man-pages on the internet. Or the manual on the internet. Nor download anything. I don't like that. Does it come with all the applications I need for business and marketing? What's you business? What marketing tool do you need? Are you sure that is an OS level matter?

I would suggest to get the most recent RELEASE version. Currently that's 8.2. Depending on the hardware you are using, use i386 (the 32 bit system) or AMD64 (the 64 bit system); note that you can run i386 on 64 bit hardware without problems in most cases (except you need a specific 64 bit functionality). > Will it work perfectly? This depends on the particular Thinkpad's hardware. See the list of supported devices. The FAQ's chapter "Hardware Compatibility" does have a good list: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/faq/hardware.html Also see the current release's hardware notes: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.2R/hardware.html In case of questions, you may ask IBM for statements about their FreeBSD support. A basic statement from my personal experience: Whatever hardware is compatible to standards, it will work without any problems. > I want a package with the > manual, man-pages and how to use FreeBSD perfectly in books. Please see "Appendix A. Obtaining FreeBSD" in the FreeBSD Handbook for information how to get FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html Also see: http://www.freebsd.org/where.html And of course: http://www.freebsdmall.com/cgi-bin/fm I think you'll also get suggestions from this list about which books are recommended; "Absolute FreeBSD" is a book commonly mentioned: http://www.absolutefreebsd.com/ It can be ordered from No Starch Press. Also note that you can - if you _want_ to - turn your local manpages, the Handbook and FAQ into printable PS, which means you can selectively print the sections that you need. The tools to do this are provided by the system. > What does Free in FreeBSD mean? Does it mean Free as in Free of charge? Or > is there an alternate meaning? "Free" means two things here: FreeBSD is a _free_ operating system within the open source ecosystem; it's developed by the FreeBSD team. And you can obtain it for _free_, i. e. for no charge. http://www.freebsd.org/about.html Please see the web site as an excellent resource to answer most of your questions. The main page http://www.freebsd.org/ contains references to all relevant topics like online documentation, mailing list archives, wikis and related projects. > I'm wanting the best operating system for my laptop. Is this the one? This depends on what you intend your laptop to be used for. It therefore depends on the hardware you want to use, as well as on the software. > Why > is it free of charge when I want to pay for it? You actually _can_ pay for it, e. g. by ordering media and documentation from a vendor, or you can donate money to the project. The strength of the FreeBSD system is that even poor people can "afford" it as you don't need a pirated copy (which is illegal in most legislations) in order to use a professional, secure and versatile system. So if you want to pay in order to support FreeBSD, see http://www.freebsd.org/donations/ for where to direct donations at. You can see that this is another meaning of "free" in FreeBSD: You are free to pay for it if you want to. > I don't want something > stupid. Be confident: You won't get. > I don't want to read the man-pages on the internet. Or the manual on the > internet. Nor download anything. I don't like that. Then FreeBSD is a good choice. All documentation is available locally (man pages, Handbook, FAQ and so on). You don't need a web browser or an Internet connection to access it. Most 3rd party software available for FreeBSD shares this approach and brings good documentation. > Does it come with all the applications I need for business and marketing? > That's all I need. No. The FreeBSD operating system brings an operating system, nothing more or less. You will have to install the programs you need because FreeBSD is a multifunctional OS, serving on workstations, servers, combined forms and even embedded systems. How _should_ it come with business applications in such a case? Furthermore, the term "business applications" is very wide. What _are_ business applications - in YOUR case? Because in _my_ case, business applications may likely be something quite different from yours, and from anyone else's. If you are interested in a FreeBSD system that comes with KDE and lots of average productivity applications preinstalled and preconfigured, check PC-BSD: http://www.pcbsd.org/ See if this fits your needs. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
