Berkeley Software Distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The lawsuit slowed development of the free-software descendants of BSD for nearly two years while their legal status was in question, and as a result systems based on the Linux kernel, which did not have such legal ambiguity, gained greater support. While BSD itself was largely superseded by the System V Release 4.x and OSF/1 systems in the 1990s, in recent years modified open source versions of the codebase have seen increasing use and development. Today, BSD continues to be used as a testbed for technology by academic organizations, as well as finding uses in a lot of commercial and free products and, increasingly, in embedded devices. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/BSD   (2369 words)

PC-BSD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The GPL was originally used because the PC-BSD project uses the Qt toolkit for it's interface development and the developers were under the impression that applications using the Qt toolkit must be licensed under the GPL or the QPL. Since many claim that the GNU General Public License (GPL) conflicts with BSD license ideology, a common point of criticism from the *BSD community about PC-BSD originally was that its code was licensed under the GPL - while most open source BSD descendants license exclusively under the BSD license. The PC-BSD project claims its style of package management, which is similar to that of major operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, is one which most other Unix-like systems struggle with. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/PC-BSD   (339 words)

BSD - Encyclopedia Dramatica PC BSD is like the nerd who shows up the prom with an imaginary girlfriend. NetBSD (http://www.netbsd.org/) is the BSD known for once having the most homoerotic logo (http://www.netbsd.org/gallery/logos.html), and now having the most pukingly politically correct one. BSD doing its best Red Hat imitation but not doing a good enough job. www.encyclopediadramatica.com /index.php/BSD   (369 words)

BSD and New Users In addition, PC-BSD comes with a GUI software installer which will make those who are used to using Add/Remove Applications feel right at home. As a BSD user, and even more fundamentally as a person who has to try everything out for herself, I find the amount of Linux distros out there absolutely mindboggling and, to be honest, a bit overwhelming. The BSDs are extremely well documented (the first three projects have excellent online handbooks which can walk you through your first install and then just about everything else you'd ever want to try to do with an operating system) and are quite learnable by anyone with the willingness and patience to try something new. blogs.ittoolbox.com /unix/bsd/archives/007057.asp?rss=1   (1330 words)

BSD: Linux With a Twist BSD is a full-fledged Unix operating system, which shares Linux' technical prowess and open-source development drive, and with an an unbroken line of descent back to ATandT UNIX version 1 to show as prime pedigree. BSD FFS and Linux ext2fs are generally very similar, which comes as no surprise considering that ext2fs was designed with FFS in mind. Eventually BSD was freed from the shackles of the ATandT UNIX source code license requirement as all the ATandT-copyrighted code was gradually replaced. sites.inka.de /mips/unix/bsdlinux.html   (3539 words)

Beyond The Big Three BSDs, BSD Alternatives PC BSD is different, as its focus is on a desktop-oriented (personal computing) operating system with all the functionality, stability, and performance of BSD, but with a tool set and environment that reflects a more personal environment. More information is available on the PC BSD page, including screen shots of the installation and package management process. The DragonFly BSD operating system is a fork of the main FreeBSD 4.x operating system.It was produced by Matt Dillon, who felt the development direction (particularly threading and SMP choices) of FreeBSD 5 would result in bad performance. www.serverwatch.com /tutorials/article.php/3565016   (1194 words)

FreeBSD Desktop All custom software developed for PC-BSD, The GUI Installer, Package Manager, Package Creator, were developed using the QT libraries. Or maybe the BSD folk will decide to do the same thing the GNU guys did when they got miffed over the Qt license: write their own desktop. If the license of this software is really GPL (and not BSD, I assume there is a typo) then such software is not really helping the BSD community to move forward but instead it helps the assimilation of the BSD into GPL. www.oreillynet.com /pub/wlg/6948   (1430 words)

Untitled Document BSD is a very good system and should be able to use this software. BSD would be a great way for CodeWeavers to expand its business. I use it for work with Windows apps, and *BSD cannot be seriously considered by the company due to unavailability of certain apps - one of this it would solve. www.bsdnexus.com /petition.asp   (4764 words)

Linux/BSD Gangsters - Sections - BSD Articles - A First Look At DesktopBSD-1.0-RC2 It is an excellent choice for a new BSD user, a not terribly sophisticated computer user, or an old salt who just wants a good, solid, reliable desktop that won't take days to install and weeks to configure and just wants to get on with it. Laptops in general are the toughest of the pc bunch.

Newbie: How is FreeBSD/PC-BSD? - LinuxQuestions.org But at some point the BSDs will look interesting as happened to me. In the past two years I have tried to work with FreeBSD a few times, returning to the easier Linux distros because I was too lazy to really dig in and learn. *BSD This forum is for the discussion of all BSD variants.

Daemon Dancing in the Dark: More PC-BSD I will probably continue to try out PC-BSD, so as to keep my hand in the BSD game, despite the wickedly annoying KVM problem. By using the '?' command, I get a list of the possible boot devices, and there I can see 'ad6s1a', which is the 'a' (root file system) partition (in BSD speak) of the first slice (s1) of the 7 Then it gives me a little info on how to use the manual input portion of mountroot (whatever that is - it isn't documented in the handbook as far as I can tell). freebsd.amazingdev.com /blog/archives/000353.html   (385 words)

Anyone tried PC-BSD or DesktopBSD? - Neowin.net The thing that originally attracted me to Desktop BSD was the way it had a seperate folder for each program and it it's dependancies / libraries, having been more used to Windows, that setup seemed more familiar to me.. It's a known fact that using BSD over Linux is an all-natural way to enhance the size of your ePenis. No offense, but I haven't seen a single machine yet that BSD worked on and Linux didn't, the problem has for the most part been between the chair and the desk. www.neowin.net /forum/index.php?showtopic=361793   (916 words)

FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, MacOS info BSD is some might say is a closer relative to Unix than Linux is. BSD is more geared towards servers and workstations but, not DesktopBSD. DesktopBSD is supposed to be aimed towards user friendliness that people might not even find in a user friendly Linux distribution such as Xandros or Linspire, but is quite powerful enough that you can adapt DesktopBSD to your liking.

Slashdot Good PC-BSD Guide Available Each of the four major BSD projects are pushing forward with development and experiencing growth, diversifying the Open Source playing field's offerings Let's take a look at what each project is up to these days. The other BSD projects, and some Linux developers, for that matter seem to be fine using binary drivers and firmware. The problem with using BSD is not that it is hard, it's just that Linux seems better. rss.slashdot.org /Slashdot/slashdotBsd?m=4   (1762 words)

[frontrangebsd] Review of Pc-BSD Here is a review of Pc-BSD (based on FreeBSD) EXCERPT: PC-BSD is a new FreeBSD 5.3 distribution, with a graphical installer and KDE 3.4 as it's desktop. A new beta version was just released, and though I can't say I have much experience with FreeBSD, or any *BSD for that matter, I was curious enough to try it. >From a desktop user point of you, completely oblivious to the many virtues and sound foundation of all things BSD, all I really ever wanted was an OS that is solid, easy to install and, well... lists.liquidneon.com /archives/public/frontrangebsd/2005-May/000140.html   (146 words)

Tarun Agnani's Pages: PC-BSD 0.7.5: A Review It's fair to say without going into technicalities and politics that BSD and Linux are cousins in the operating system world. Many a Linux user has flirted with the BSDs and or even fantasized about OS X. I know I have. I'm sure some BSD users have ogled at Linux distributions. agnani.blogspot.com /2005/06/pc-bsd-075-review.html   (2191 words)

FreeSBIE vs PC-BSD - From The Desk Of The Mad Man Again, I'm not trying to shit on the efforts of the PC-BSD guys because their work here is excellent and well-deserved of respect. To cram BSD into a two step install is pretty impressive by my standards. This, coincidentally, is fast becoming a favorite topic for me. I'm really starting to enjoy all this BSD UNIX stuff. www.madpenguin.org /blogs/adam/archives/3-FreeSBIE-vs-PC-BSD.html   (988 words)

Linksys WPC11 version 4 on PC-BSD TTechnical Lots of people seem to be asking how to configure their Linksys WPC11 version 4 on various distributions of Linux and BSD, etc. If you are here about Linux, you might want to check my article on setting this up on Fedora 2 core. To get your card working, we will use the NDIS capabilities in BSD - basically it is a wrapper that allows BSD to use a windows driver. First some background: The trouble with getting your Linksys WPC11 version4 card going is that it does not have the same chipset as any of the previous versions. www.ttechnical.com /node/19   (527 words)

PC-BSD...I like it alot... - Beyond3D Forum I'm using PC-BSD on my laptop and on my IBM S51 Workstation at work.

I think I might go dig a bit deeper and see what BSD has to offer... www.beyond3d.com /forum/showthread.php?p=532393   (1050 words)

PC-BSD: Desktop Computing, Served Up BSD Style So, the question then becomes: are the various BSD flavors totally compatible or does BSD have the same problem (although on a smaller scale). These sorts of arguments are popular amongst the BSD zealots/trolls, but real people with the intelligence to deal with the systems shouldn't fall for this sort of B.S. argument. And the same goes for *BSD, and their ports system, it is unusable without the fast connection. dot.kde.org /1114514258   (3967 words)

Installing and Configuring PC-BSD - Part 1 Michael and Mary's site There are six different flavours of BSDs available today: FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Dragonfly BSD, the new easy to use DesktopBSD and the new, easy-to-use PC-BSD.

Interview with Kris Moore of PC-BSD & PC-BSD 0.7.8 Released - OSNews.com 4) Other projects like Desktop BSD and NetBSD-Office have appeared since PC-BSD's arrival on the scene, what do you think of their offerings and ideaology? To be honest, I've only tried the other BSD's a few times, and FreeBSD has always been my bread and butter. Their documentation and availability of information on the web has always been a huge help when troubleshooting problems. www.osnews.com /story.php?news_id=11268   (983 words)
