I have been running PC-BSD 9.0 with the KDE interface in a VirtualBox VM, and notice that it uses CPU resources when idle, driving up my CPU temperature about 15 degrees on an otherwise idle machine. (It is an Intel i5 quad four). Is this to be expected

BSD on IOS hardware

Is it possible to load FreeBSD on an Apple Mobile device designed to run IOS? There are a lot of old iPads out there. If we could repurpose them to straight Unix pads that might be cool. From there shells and then maybe an open source alternative to IOS or Android. Maybe a way for people to

Re: Warning - FreeBSD (*BSD) entanglement in Linux ecosystem

, Inc. I read an article online about some Linux constructs make it very difficult to port some software to BSD. This included systemd, also Xfce and GNOME 3. I figure this is why GNOME 3, out for some time now, has not yet been ported to FreeBSD ports or Ne
