[Malvern] FreeBSD continued

[Andy Dixon]

As much as I like to experiment with new things, I have given up with 
FreeBSD.

Its not linux. Despite installing 'Linux Compatibility' stuff, it was 
still pants.

What really narked me off was that sshd was not configured. Being lazy. 
I'd expect it to work out-of-the-box. It didnt. I spent 20 minutes and 
got to the stage where i could ssh root at localhost. Couldn't do it remotely.


I gave up. Installed Debian Etch and was done with it.

On a completely unrelated note- i'm going to have a crack at installing 
Linux (etch does not work) on my Intel Mac Mini at work. Camp Boot, or 
boot camp, whatever it wants to be called is good, but rebooting is such 
a chore. I have been playing around with a Parallel or something, some 
kind of VMware-esque package. pressing ctrl+apple+left would pass me to 
a new desktop running my ideal OS, and ctrl+apple+right would go back to 
OS X.

Enough of this. I'm off to take more flu tablets and drink more wine. If 
anyone who was at the last LUG meet has got a horrid cold, I apologise 
for giving you my germs. A good curry from Zam Zam or Paprika would help 
shift it..
