<0> Pingpong> theres a gui on that
<1> ty
<1> so im trying to install .. freebsd on my d: drive what .. type of file format will i format d: drive
<1> fat32
<1> ?
<0> noo
<0> I'm not big into freebsd myself
<1> ok
<0> I am not really that knowledgable on that much linux stuff man
<1> Parallels Workstation 2.0 enables users to run multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OS/2, eComStation, and MS-DOS, simultaneously on one physical machine without partitioning or rebooting.
<0> but I know it used ext2fs
<1> ill try that
<0> uses*
<2> Pingpong, do you want a better os that's based on freebsd for newbies
<1> sure
<2> try pcbsd
<2> it is freebsd for new users
<1> ok
<1> wow
<1> :D
<2> it has software in packages that you download
<2> called PBI files
<2> www.pcbsd.org
<1> thanks melio
<2> I have booted it . it runs good
<2> comes with KDE for desktop
<2> if you want firefox. download firefox.pbi from the pcbsd.org website in downloads
<2> if you want other apps. just download the pbi files
<2> very simple to use
<1> pbi = software for bsd
<2> pbi pcbsd installer
<2> Pc Bsd Installer
<2> it's like installsheild for unix
<1> oh i c
<2> custom install interface
<2> here's what is nice about pbi
<2> you can pack your own software. or someone elses with a pbi creator
<2> it's difficult if you are new. so don't bother. but it's possible
<1> hmm
<1> its a free download
<2> this os is brand new
<2> yes
<2> Pingpong, do you want linux or bsd
<1> ummm
<1> im not sure
<1> wait
<1> umm
<2> because for new users. bsd isnt the easyest os to use
<1> i hace a shell account running on freebsd
<1> thats why im trying to learn more
<2> ok freebsd shell for what?
<1> *have
<2> do you have goals?
<1> so what is the best for newbie like me
<2> what do you want to do with linux or freebsd
<2> replace windows? or just learn to use it so you can see if you want to make a switch
<1> i want to learn freebsd
<1> for learning
<1> so that maybe someday i can start my own shell hosting business
<2> freebsd does not come with a graphical interface
<2> you have to make it from ports
<2> Pingpong, there is a lot to learn before you can sell shells
<1> ty
<1> im in a remote areas
<2> otherwise people will abuse your lack of security and you'll loose your own computer to bots :P
<1> there is not hosting
<1> so if i am the 1st .. maybe i can make a successfulk fosting
<1> *hosting
<2> Pingpong, you can start using pcbsd.org and switch to freebsd once you learn the basics of using freebsd I suppose
<2> you can also host shells with linux
<1> linux ? freebsd ?
<1> isnt it same
<2> linux isnt the same
<2> each have they're own specifications
<2> but otherwise. they are simular
<1> ok
<2> freebsd was designed to be 100% unix compliant
<2> linux was designed as a fluid technology testing base with unix like commands
<2> the two are simular in hardware support for computers like desktops
<2> but freebsd command strucutre and how directories are placed (userland) are differnt from linux
<2> the software are mostly the same
<2> but compiled under each os differntly to match the "userland" properly
<2> do you understand so far, or do you require more answers to questions about the differnces between the two
<1> ty
<3> Freebsd and linux are not the same, but are often viewed as simular due to them both being freely available for download and use
<1> i c
<3> you may enjoy pcbsd as a workstation os
<3> I thought it was very intutitive for new users to understand
<3> the basic os comes with everything you need to get online and operate
<1> thanks
<1> is it GUI
<3> but if you want additional toys/tools they are available in pbi format
<3> yes it is
<1> ok
<3> the install process is very simple
<3> made for extremly new users
<3> the prompt will be exactly like your shell acount
<3> only localized
<1> oh 1 thing
<1> what is the diff between unix & linux
<1> which is more popular
<3> unix is a structured operating system based on the rules set in POSIX
<3> if you use 1 UNIX computer
<3> and walk to a differnt room and use another
<3> they will be identical
<3> as far as what base command sturcture you will have
<1> you mean
<3> and how things look as an interface
<1> another unix computer
<3> right
<3> not the same on a network
<1> i c
<3> but the two vendors will have the same interface for you to use
<3> UNIX compliance =
<3> posix
<3> linux is not POSIX unless you want it to be
<3> but the kernel and how it handles memory has strayed far from posix
<1> ok
<1> i prefer linux
<1> :/
<3> why
<1> becoz i think it more easy
<3> linux has much more apps available
<1> the command
<1> etc
<3> then you should not use pcbsd
<1> eh!!
<3> a good easy to use linux distro is fedora core 4
<3> it is also free to download
<3> large in size
<1> im talking about liux(freebsd)
<1> :D
<3> ok linux isnt freebsd!
<1> *sigh*
<3> Pingpong, what operating system do you run now
<1> windowsxp pro
<3> you could run hosting in winxp pro
<3> there are applications available
<3> terminal server
<3> ported unix commands
<3> scripting clients and shells
<1> i c
<3> if you perfer free, there is linux, and freebsd and many others branched from base systems
<3> you could use centos
<3> it is based around redhat
<3> or you could use fedora. which is the develoment branch of redhat
<3> or you could use gentoo, a compilers dream :)
<3> you can use debian, or ubuntu. both good.
<3> freebsd, pcbsd. desktopbsd. fireflybsd
<3> everyone chooses for differnt reasons. some know them. some don't
<1> okie
