PDP-11 (with RSTS/E) emulator for FreeBSD

2003-02-10 Thread Dan Delaney
Since we're on the subject of archaic software, does anyone know of a good PDP-11 emulator that will run on FreeBSD? I'd like one that can run the RSTS/E operating system. This is strictly for nostalgic purposes :-) I learned how to program on a PDP-11 with RSTS/E back in 1983. I still have cop

What are these different memory figures in TOP?

2003-02-07 Thread Dan Delaney
Hello all. Is there a full explanation somewhere of what EXACTLY those six memory usage figures mean that are displayed in 'top'? You know the ones: Active, Inact, Wired, Cache, Buf, Free. The man page for top doesn't explain them at all. What exactly is the difference between "active" and "wi

BIND 8/9

2003-02-04 Thread Dan Delaney
Hello all. I have a few questions about BIND on FreeBSD. 1) Since BIND 8 comes in the base installation of FreeBSD (4.8 and 5), why is there a BIND 8 port in the ports collection? 2) Why doesn't FreeBSD 5 come with BIND 9 in the base installation instead of BIND 8? Is there some problem with BI
