I installed FreeBSD in a VM and I'm waiting for Xorg to finish it's compilation (since 4 hours ago) but it's good and read the handbook! :)

@GHxx1

You are a goldmine for hackers. who told you to do banking stuff inside vmware?

Yeah, I did not look very closely there. But it made me wonder as far as I remember.

[superjoshua7777]

@Sciesch Ya, it does... actually, upon closer inspection it looks like the GUI is GNOME running on Arch Linux (the original user name used is is prudhvi@arch) instead of Ubuntu.

However, the user then uses SSH to take control of another computer via a CLI. That other computer is the one that's using FreeBSD

lol i agree. anyone who thinks vmware is gonna make them safe is dumb. dont pretend to know what your talking about ghxx1 because its obvious you dont lol. bsd has security capabilities beyond your comprhension like acls, jails, extended atributes, mac, root login detection, sunlinks, superior firewalls.

wow

-_- The square root of pie = GHxx1 a lifeless profile n00b

[GHxx1]

Noob, an OS as just as secure as its user. Running all critical stuff like banking inside a Vmware copy of a legit copy of andy Windows OS is a lot mroe secure than anything else or did you really think that in those 3 minutes that you have your vmware open that someone is goign to hack your system? Noob...

if you wanna use BSD as a desktop, go with Desktop-BSD, it owns, has live cd, packet manager and shit like that.
