Re: FreeBSD's Visual Identity: Outdated?
I am writing this e-mail hoping that someone will share my thoughts on how the world's best operating system should represent its attributes and users to the rest of the world. representations are secondary to function. there are markets for which this relationship is inverted. cost of entry is in the mid-eight-figure range. Being an architect as well as graphic designer, I feel it is about time for a complete revamp of the visual aesthetics of the FreeBSD project. code is art, and feelings are nice. please fix ebcdic first. unicode too. The current logo and everything pertaining to it has long since lost its modern touch. I believe that if this image is strenghtened, so is the way outsiders view the FreeBSD project and the way they would judge it compared to other open source operating systems. modernity is overrated. 1. Not only is the logo misleading (associating evil) but it also looks dumb. like something 10-year-olds could produce in Paint Shop Pro ten years ago. OpenBSD has an artistic touch to theirs, however I was very disappointed when I heard that the new NetBSD logo was in effect. who, other than you, cares? 2. If it wasn't for the interesting content and structure of the FreeBSD website, it would be among the less beautiful. Yes, it serves its purpose well by being simple and straight to the point. But a redesign could offer just the same -- simplicity and accuracy -- without being ugly. break your own website please. 3. The installation, even though it's text-only, could also be improved by simple restructuring to act more cognitive and human-centered than previously. Everything pertaining to the eye is important to improve. break your own loader please. 4. There should be some kind of FreeBSD business card and letterhead available to all that support this project. if i give you one will you agree to do something useful? How do I know though, that if I manage to pull together a team to work on this refined vision, that we won't be totally ignored even though we produce the most magnificent result? most likely. its troll's fate. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arch To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Firefox for FBSD?
well, you could follow the instructions on the mozilla developer's pages for getting the source, configuring the source, and building the source. its what i do for a 4.10 laptop (1.8a6, dec 3rd build). i'm sort of lazy about having a browser on my 5.2.1 machine (1.7.2). one minor data point, building for less than the whole suite fails, and i don't care enough to find out why, since it is only cycles and disk, and i've plenty of both. my .mozconfig follows. use with care, it may contain iraqi weapons of mass distruction or ohio voting machine recalibration code, or otherwise fry something near and dear to you. or you could use the port, which some nice person maintains. # sh # Build configuration script # # See http://www.mozilla.org/build/unix.html for build instructions. # # Options for client.mk. mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=suite mk_add_options [EMAIL PROTECTED]@/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ # Options for 'configure' (same as command-line options). ac_add_options --enable-application=suite geckoishly yours, eric ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: setup firewall/router/proxy
Oki all, If it isn't too much of a bother, someone asked me the same question, but for a platform I'm unfamiliar with -- a 2.4.18-6mdk (Mandrake) linux distro. As the target is not freebsd, I'll be happy with any technical response, and off-list is probably better than on. TiA, Eric What are the best firewall - routing and proxy packages for FreeBSD ? FW/Routing: IPFW + natd (both have man pages) Proxy: squid (/usr/ports/www/squid) IMHO. Steve Have only experience with debian/proxy/masquerading/iptables.

Donald, I missed the 9 in the body of the post. And rrset_order isn't something I've ever used, so please provide an answer. Eric ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Bind 9 answer limit question
Flaming aside, I did look for this answer in the bind docs before posting. Either I missed it, or its not there. I did see other things that reference round-robins, but not this. Right. rrset-order defines the order in which multiple records of the same type are returned, which wasn't quite the question asked (number limit). In the 9.3.x release note mentions that this (rrset-order) is implemented, somewhere else there was a note that in the 8.x code this was implemented, and in the 9 (presumably 9.2.x code) this wasn't. I'm modestly interested in the use case, never having used the MS dns implementation (or Dan's either), and I expect I'll survive the sarcasm.
