web proxies that can restrict the web browsing time
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello BSD Gurus! We are running freeBSD 6.2 I was wondering it it is possible to limit the usage of time user spends web browsing on certain ips. Squid is not an option (I checked on squid lists). Did anyone come across of another web proxies that could help us? We need some to limit the browsing time to 1 hour a day. I googled and googled but everything that I found wasn't not very helpful yet. Thank you in advance. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGVfHA36NTVtUxDtQRAko9AJ98YMLJHy9X3NpOd725mfEz074SIwCfQd0s RYv2dApEszLa2va3Iu1L7hg= =krB5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Web browsing
Um, I know this is going to sound stupid, but I am completely dumbfounded as to how I can runa web browser in FreeBSD. I got so frustrated that I didn't know how to use FreeBSD and the fact that Elmira is a Windows city was completely agitating me, so I ended up uninstalling FreeBSD from my main hardrive, re-installed Windows, and I am e-mailing you guys for help, but don't fret, I have not left FreeBSD high and dry. I am going to install it onto my very old 261MB SeaGate HDD. But if I am going to use FreeBSD I need help getting used to it. Like, for example, how do I run a program, let's say Netscape for example. Please do help! I have always heard good reports about UNIX based OSes like FreeBSD.

Re: Web browsing
you should read about ports from the ports you can install applications in to FreeBSD and a tip is that if you want X(graphics) you need a bigger drive then 261mb two good consol based web-browsers are links and lynx they are located in /usr/ports/www/links and /usr/ports/www/lynx On Sun, 5 Sep 2004 22:27:43 -0400, Douglas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Um, I know this is going to sound stupid, but I am completely dumbfounded as to how I can runa web browser in FreeBSD.

Hi Douglas, It would be helpful when mailing this list if you were to set your mail client to wrap lines at about 72 characters so that people reading it in console-based mail clients can see it all more easily. It isn't quite true to say that the default install of FreeBSD does not include a graphical interface, since you do get offered the option to install X Windows and choose a desktop (aka window manager), but most default installs result in a console-only system. There are web browsers you can use in this environment, such as lynx and links, and text-only browsing is wonderfully fast and functional. But to run a graphical browser such as Netscape, you will need to be sure to install a graphical interface first. Your 261MB hard drive is not big enough to hold a graphical set up and large programs like Netscape. The best resource for learning about all these issues is the FreeBSD handbook (which is also one of the best reference documents about computing, period). You can find this at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html If you find you have specific problems while trying to get things to work, mail this list again and you'll get lots help.

You probably want elinks a text only browser. It runs from the console without xwindows and is so small that it will fit on your small hard drive Install it from /usr/ports/www/elinks. Run it like this: 'elinks http://www.google.com'. If you want a console graphical browser that works without X. Run , pkg_add -vr svgalib to install SVGAlib. Then install port /usr/ports/www/links and change install compile options to use svgalib instead of the default xwindows. run it like this: links -g -mode 640x480x64k http://www.google.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am not sure if they would still fit, and you would have to choose the packages you want quite carefully. Avoid KDE and GNOME - I am sure they won't fit. But if you tried FVWM as the Window Manager, and Mozilla or Firefox (which is a good bit smaller) you might be able to get it to work. Well worth a try if you can't get your hands on a bigger disk. I am not sure where you live, but in North America you could get a larger used disk for a very modest price. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Web browsing
Once you install your FreeBSD system, you can use many browsers. i.e if you install the kde desktop, it will come with a browser. You can also install mozilla (netscape) and or firefox. so browsing is not an issue but I would say that your harddrive is pretty small. You may want to get a bigger drive. -- www.avoid.ca/blog www.realsoftstudio.com --- --- James A.

If you're unfamiliar with UNIX and need some tutorials to help you find your way around, Dru Lavigne's articles at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15 are a great way to get to know FreeBSD and UNIX in general. It takes some time and a lot of trial and error but it's worth it. Good luck!
