How hard is it to get ports working on FreeBSD these days?

[marcellodipietro]

Very easy as long you install cvsup and you add this line in the crontab

0 3 * * * /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -z /etc/cvsupfile > /dev/null

/etc/cvsupfile should contain the closed mirror to you

Evvai con linux alla grande!!! piccola domanda, che distro hai montato sul pc di destra? il mio inglese scarseggia un'pò, ma ho visto che compiz (o beryl che sia) non gli pesa più di tanto, e non si impalla nemmeno per essere un pentium 3.

[marcellodipietro]

sul video avevo SUSE 10 comunque anche UBUNTU va bene.

@MrDemilord Exactly. May 97 the one with the 266mhz core.

[MrDemilord]

@Bastylax86 Pentium 2 came in 1997

[MrDemilord]

@SeltsamerAttraktor 1999 sorry typo

[SeltsamerAttraktor]

@MrDemilord 199 CE or 199 BCE ?

[MrDemilord]

P3 came in 199 not 1997.. just for your interest

The Pentium III[1] brand refers to Intel's 32-bit x86 desktop and mobile microprocessors based on the sixth-generation P6 microarchitecture introduced on February 26, 1999

@206ernesto in 1996 ???? FAIL ...

Pentium 4 was a line of single-core desktop and laptop central processing units (CPUs), introduced by Intel on November 20, 2000

@marcellodipietro : use csup - it is writnen in C and it is a part of base system installation :)

[Bastylax86]

There weren't pentium 3 in 1997, i bought a Pentium MMX that years adn there stilll wasn't Pentium II....it came out later that year.

You missed the age fo your pc by two yrears, but whatever.

freebsd is however built off unix and doesn't use linux although they are somewhat alike. (freebsd and linux that is)
