and the winner is...

2005-09-01 Thread Mario Carugno
I there, i was trying freebsd for a while, and comparing it against 
debian/linux.
The winner was Debian by far... Freebsd could be stable, but it is not 
faster... and Debian is far much more 'usable'.
 Freebsd package installation is very laborious compared with Debian's apt 
system. I have to search in each CD, know dependences,...
 X configuration is hard too when the autodetected configuration doesn't 
works...
 I think fbsd is good, but needs some user facilities.

newbie to fbsd

2005-08-30 Thread Mario Carugno
Hi there, i am now a Debian user, but curious about FreeBSD. Here are some 
questions:
 * I don't have a fast internet connection, so i have to get the CDROM 
distribution. The question is:
ALL packages found in http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html are included 
in the CDROMs, or they have only some of them ?
 * What's the difference between 5.4 and 4.11 releases ? Why 4.11 CDROM 
distribution have 4 CDs and the later 5.4 have only 2 CDs ?
 Well, enough by now. Thank you all.
