Mac Mini HTPC
Finally got a new projector and got a Mac Mini to go along with it(as well as some work stuff, makes for a good portable unix box for debugging).
Let me just say this, although MythTV is great, it’s bulky, unpredictable(my hard drive filled because I hadn’t set it up to record anything yet, just installed, […]
FreeBSD woes, back to Rails, project management
Trying to install FreeBSD on my main computer, thanks in part to a new 500gb hard drive replacing my old 90gb hard drive(woo hoo!), I get “BTX Halted” over and over again. Nothing else. I’ve tried i386 and amd64 builds(I’m on amd64 but it was a recommended fix) as well as disabling the DMA on […]
Quick Update

As expected, libpri and zaptel do not compile nor install on FreeBSD. That’s not something I can fix currently. The zaptel dummy drivers are needed for conference calling and some other things. We’ll have to wait for the ports to become […]
FreeBSD, an Open Source Alternative to Linux
Find the Whitepaper Here.
Also, FreeBSD 6.0 Todo and Status, along with Release Schedule.
And for kicks, a link to BSD Freak News and to The Texas Renaissance Faire.
Enjoy! I’m outta town tomorrow, will try to post from San Diego if I can, otherwise it’ll be a few weeks.
My Comment on DesktopBSD
Ok, on the article about DesktopBSD on Slashdot I said this:
When is starts to fracture.
For awhile there, we only had 3, and life was good. Now we have DragonFly, Darwin, and now DesktopBSD. Any system that splits up so much must be dead or dying!!
It was a joke people, I’ve got FreeBSD on two […]
