BSD And Other Things

>>55706417
Is PC-BSD well documented? Can I use it like I can use Ubuntu?

>>55706438
I mean for using daily tasks, ubuntu makes it easy. Like enabling dnscrypt:

#Install the dnscrypt package
sudo add-apt-repository pa:anton+/dnscrypt && sudo apt update &&  sudo apt install dnscrypt-proxy;
#Change your DNS server to 127.0.0.2 from your network manager 
#Restart Network Manager
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
#done

Just switch to Linux already

>>55706529
Improve your shitposting

>>55706551
Not an argument.

>>55706611
Stop shitposting

>>55706529
I already switched from Linux though.

>>55706438
it's pretty much as well documented as freebsd since it's literally just freebsd with a DE on top

>>55706611
neither was your post

also

FreeBSD's Handbook is actually GoAT. If you want to learn Unix that is translatable to any other unix like OS, read it.

>>55706529
Linux is shit due to poor design choices, and lower quality developers, and has been from the onset.

FreeBSD is winning the long game

Is there any way to read the mailing list digests in a non-redundant fashion?

>>55707423
Picking a fight with Linux will only make people laugh, anon. Linux, at this point is trying to be an alternative to windows while BSD is struggling with servers.

BSD is more secure, so I want PC-BSD and their ports to improve

>>55706495
pkg install dnscrypt

or

cd /usr/ports/dnscrypt/
make install clean

Is it normal to get stuck here for a while?

>>55708619
are you fetching from a server or the CD itself?

in any case, base is pretty big so it can take a while

>>55708637
server

>>55708662
then that's probably why

i assume the freebsd servers are really crowded

thanks for the links, op

glad to see this thread is back

>>55708668
>>55708668
have you been able to download the source code for the HEAD (11.0-CURRENT)?

>>55709583
can't say, i use openbsd which never really gave me any server problems

are you talking through CVS? CVS servers seem to be generally stable

I always get TimeOuts of my SSD in my MacBook Air 2013 when i want to install FreeBSD. Doesnt matter which Flash Drive. The SSD is also fine. Works in MacOS, Debian or OpenBSD without a problem. So i guess, its a driver problem? How can i fix this problem?

>>55711449
You shold drop a message on the mailing list with your exact specs from a dmesg.

>>55711487
Ok, will do so. Thanks!

>>55711503
Also goes without saying, but make sure to also actually specify the problem.

A good subject line helps.

Just reading up FreeBSD documentation online, the wiki is actually very good and easy to use.

The one thing I don't like about it though is lack of virtualization support. What's the best that FreeBSD can offer?

>>55712814
Bhyve?

Jails are different, but they count, I guess.

>>55712861
Can't see instructions for setting up windows. I do want me some GPU passthrough for photoshop

Citation needed.

How do I sort mirrors by speed or country. It's painfully slow

>>55714150
Mirrors for what?

>>55714150

Has anyone gotten a BSD on a Raspberry Pi with a working GUI, and if so which BSD and how did you do it?

>>55715052
>>55715254
Repository mirrors.
#pkg install gnome3 is taking forever
However things download much quicker while #cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome3/ && make install clean

FreeBSD or OpenBSD for desktop, i want to try it on a VM

>>55715465
not a bsd greybeard, just have played around with them a bit.

FreeBSD have more packages and a better package manager in my opinion, OpenBSD was the only one that just werked with my shittops wireless card. I also found OpenBSDs installer to be somewhat better than FreeBSDs, but they were both simple enough. FreeBSD have zfs and jails.

I don't use any of them as a daily driver, mostly because i'm far more familliar with ganoo lennux

>>55715465
Depends on what you want.
OpenBSD with gnome doesn't work in a VM, I'm not certain about FreeBSD.

I use OpenBSD as daily on my laptop.

>>55715318
>Repository mirrors.
We're talking about multiple operating systems here.

>>55716121
>a better package manager in my opinion
What makes you say that?

I'm not saying you're wrong, OpenBSD's package manager is very basic.

Does anyone know if you can put *BSD on chromebooks like the acer720?
Its not ARM

>>55716121
pkgin is the best

I just wish wlan support would be as good in NetBSD as it is in OpenBSD

>>55706417
Enjoy your FBI backdoor in openbsd fag.
