G4 Quicksilver as Web Server?
Sup guys. Hope you all had a new year. I have an old G4 lying about, its got 256mb ram, 733mhz processor. I was wondering, would it be worth setting up the PPC version of FreeBSD (or maybe even OpenBSD, although thats for their mailing list) on it to use as a web server or testing box. The most i'd do on it is probably use it as a testing box to create server applications using C++. Id like ot work within a BSD enviroment because thats what ive been using for a long time now, but i dont want all the extra windows crap you get with OSX, id much rather work with command line. I havn't got an old PC lying about, and because of university i need to keep my PC intact with XP (assignments, research ect.). Before i end the toipic, anyone got any feeback on the Asus Eee (mini laptops) with FreeBSD? Im open to any feedback.

FreeBSD on a Mac
Was wondering. Can i put FreeBSD on a Quicksilver G4? I know it already has Tiger on it, which is BSD based, but i have no use for Tiger at the moment. At college were using Windows, and my old BSD box now has windows on it so that i can keep up with college assignments. I still have BSD on the box, but on another partition, i loved FreeBSD 7, was really getting the hang of it and testing out its web server capabilities, its a nightmare switching the PC on and off just to run a temp web server to test on. Is it possible or is there a better solution?

C++ Compiler On FreeBSD
Evening to you all (or morning in some parts of the world). Im learning C++ from Sams Teach Yourself C++, now many will call this a dumb method, and the books pointless and stupid, but i have no knowledge of any lower level languages, so i do need to be spoon fed the basics. Im using Borland C++ compiler on XP and was wondering what compilers there are for FreeBSD that would allow me to compile and execute some of the examples i will practise from the book. Also if anyone wants to recommend any other books on C++ feel free. We are learning VB at college at the moment, i like it, but its not machine portable and i dont like the whole drag and drop way of creating a program, seems like cheating.

Re: C++ Compiler On FreeBSD
Hi all, thanks for the fast replys, much appreciated. Manolis: Yep, its the book by Jesse, i never believe them when they say in 24 hours, its a snag for them to sell the book, they just split it up into 24 sections to make it look like its possible. Roland: Ive been working with PHP over the past 2 years, i understand the basics such as data types, functions, arrays, variables, objects ect, but i want to challenge myself and learn something that will benifit me when looking for work after uni, i've got another 4 years of learning before i complete my software engineering degree. Be cool to create stuff that i can use in FreeBSD, i know i have years of learning to do but im up for it.

I'd say that C++ isn't the easiest way to learn programming. I'd suggest starting with Perl, Ruby or Python. Im using Borland C++ compiler on XP and was wondering what compilers there are for FreeBSD that would allow me to compile and execute some of the examples i will practise from the book. FreeBSD comes with the GNU C++ and C compilers installed. There are others available (Intel) or in progress (OpenWatcom).

Re: WEP Mode: Bad Value?
Is it possible to use 64-Bit WEP? Im guessing its possible but ive tryed google, and it holds no answers. I will probably look into it over the weekend and see if i can get an article going.

7.0-CURRENT Ports Collection?
Does 7.0 come with a disk for the Ports Collection or would they have to be downloaded from the internet? Im having trouble getting packages from the web, lots of errors when i try to install them. Everything seems dependant on everything else. Once i get the SSH to work i will post some output. But for now, is there a problem installing packages on 7.0?
