Thank you for the info. Maybe I will redo the video. I am still learning on video editing.

Explanation of "uptime" 2:53PM up 594 days, 21:24, 2 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

2:53PM = the time on the server.

up 594 days, 21:24 = means that this box has been up for 594 days and 21 houers and 24 minutes.

load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 = how many threads that are waiting for CPU time, 0.00 = last min, 0.00 = last 5min, 0.00 = last 15min.

I love people who make these videos ... its the easiest way to learn the basic stuff.

Thumbs up.

It doesn't suck, granted however it is quite difficult to use, I would start with something simple such as Ubuntu then work your way up to Gentoo then once you have used that for a while then you start using Freebsd.

Old comment but, that doesn't seem too likely to just "happen" out of nowhere.

But, things do change sometimes! You gotta keep up with forums, docs, mans, etc

For instance, on wireless...FreeBSD now uses a "pseudo" interface for their wireless (wlan0) instead of the device name. So a person who upgraded would have incorrect rc.conf, loader.conf, etc

Their wireless would, of course, be broken!

I'm now using OpenBSD for laptop, I think its slightly better. But FreeBSD is good too!

[zzsql]

You know, with FreeBSD 5 my wireless worked perfectly, right out of the box.

Now, i can't even get it to work.

It's so broken, I gave up FreeBSD on my notebook.

wth is up with that? I tried _everything_ i could find online.

it's just broken.

Thank you so much, it is pretty much like Linux. If you have some info about packaging it will be very useful. Thanks.

The dangers to children online can be prevented with Snipe:

You cannot fight online dangers but you can completely avoid them.

It's amazing! Take a look:

could you explain these in depth....clear, pkg_add, reboot, rm, mv, su, mkdir, chmod, chown, sysinstall, edit, tar, dumb,resort cpio, make, setfib, more ifconfing. I am learning freeBSD myself it is nice to find someone that is working with the same operating system that i am interested in. Thanks a bunch....

Nice video, these are good basic commands to be familiar with. However, I think it is important to note that not a single one of these is unique to FreeBSD - these would also work on Linux, OpenSolaris, HP/UX, etc.

A more accurate title would be Unix/*nix commands.

Nonetheless, good job.

hi JROCK20041 thanks for this video many video i have watch that shows how the install openbsd or netbsd but non of them install with interface open bsd or net bsd desnt sport x window interface

thanks

freebsd does not suck just requires you to think differently in order to use it. working just fine for me.
