and the winner is...
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. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
newbie to fbsd
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. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
