Hello, all!
I have Asus X51RL laptop with FreeBSD 7.1-RC1 installed.
There were no troubles with GENERIC kernel, but when I've compiled custom
kernel, rl ethernet driver tells to the console a lot of errors:
rl0: link state changed to UP
rl0: watchdog timeout
rl0: watchdog timeout
Any mistake?
I think that can be handled quite easily by community social pressure,
and moderation would just set a precedent for "it's someone else's job".
moderation is needed. Things like "community social pressure"

and exactly is needed on that group. it would be enough that moderator's
job will be just removing posts that classify to NTG. NOTHING else.
As long as neither you, nor anyone that thinks like you, is in charge of
moderation, it might not be a *complete* disaster.

The Midnight Commander is a curses based file manager that might

So, we end up splitting the potential FreeBSD users between Ubuntu and
Fedora with more of them going to Ubuntu because not quite as many become
very nice. after trying FreeBSD they WILL get back to linux (and then
windows) quickly.
Those who REALLY know they need something different, like h

Здравствуйте, Questions.
It there feature (option in rc.subr) to run multiple services at once?
For example I have 'service'
to run service with specific flags I want to do:
service_enable="YES"
service_instances="instance1 instance2"
service_instance1_flags="-flag 1 rl0"
service_instance2_flags
my son read somewhere that linux does better power management than
freebsd. one specific item being that the cpu scaling is more
efficiently handled.
my friend told me that freebsd does it better ;)
anyway it's just "been told", "somewhere" etc.
to compare things we first need to set up a metri

Many Linux people I know still think FreeBSD SMP sucks, that combined
with a lack of journaling filesystem on BSD gives
instance it has first one already runned. And he add second instance
because of it is not enough to have only one instance. So
proftpd_enable="YES" will enable all instances
proftpd_enable="NO" will disable all instances
proftpd_external_enable="NO" will disable some instance
For example: user ru

The log files log exactly "who" did what instead of anonymously. At the

Simply - install linux, then FreeBSD on same machine and check it :)
:D
ya that's what's important here at least.
anyway - just using hlt instruction greatly reduces CPU power usage even
at full clock. i don't think the difference is THAT huge by reducing clock
multipliers, voltage etc.
