Guys, I hate to make such an OT post, so I'll try to make it short. I'm a
FreeBSD admin writing on behalf of owners of the very very flawed Sony Vaio
FX210 and FX215 laptops. We're trying to resolve some of the problems with
our laptops by replacing the mobile Duron CPU. Basically what we're lo

Could I beg of you
I noticed the following thread about the Via chipset problem. I run a
production server off a Tyan Tiger 133A, which also has this problem. Tyan
does not have a BIOS fix, nor does it look like they ever will. When you
contact them, they point to the Windows driver fix. They don't seem to

Our site, unixgamers.com will hopefully be launching soon. As I've
mentioned before, we will be giving full instructions on how to setup Linux

need contributors with experience on how to setup FreeBSD to run games via

Has anyone noticed that the sawfish package is missing from 4.3-install.iso,

I'm not talking about joining the x86-
I'd like to know if anyone's considering support for the new AMD
Sledgehammer/Clawhammer/*hammer with x86-64 architecture. I know the new
hammer cpus will run as _very_ fast x86-32 processors, and FreeBSD would run
happily under that, however, the x86-64 architecture offers major advantages

My basic interpretation of this is, if you legally own a copy of the

Infinite apologies if I offended you. Were I live, the word gay is used
