Anybody try out PC BSD 8.0?
by Mike Pfaiffer 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

I downloaded it and tried it in a VM. I've got to the point where (after installation) it boots. At that point it comes back and presents a boot menu. FreeBSD and PXE are the only options. Neither produce anything meaningful. FreeBSD just says it can't find something and PXE won't find something from the net (obviously). I could try installing FreeBSD from the same CD but if I wanted to run FreeBSD (which I do - but not right now) I'd grab a copy of that... Later Mike

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 9. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Marvell SheevaPlug This month, Kevin McGregor will be presenting a "show and tell" of the Marvell SheevaPlug, a Linux-based computer which fits in a power adapter. With a 1.2 GHz ARM CPU, RAM, flash memory, gigabit Ethernet, USB and more, all at under 7 watts, this small device has enormous possibilities! Kevin will talk about his particular experience with the SheevaPlug and his planned use for it. Before the break, as this month's RTFM topic, Samuel Pauls will be covering the vim(1) command. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15pm, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may not get in. (But don't come too early either, since security may not be there to let you in before 7:15 or so.) Non-members may be required to show photo ID at the security desk. Limited parking is available for free on the street, either on Ellice Ave. or on some of the intersecting streets. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $5.00 for the evening.
