FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE

[gore]

Brang home a few machines from work that were destined for the dumpster, pulled them apart and used the better parts to make 1 good machine.

just finished downloading and in the process of burning the .iso ta'h disc.

Yay Coffee Cup is moving up in the World!

Oh in case anyone cares I almost spun out of control. dumb ass in front of me, who is driving around 50 MPH as is the speed limit on this two lane road, smacks the breaks, HARD, forcing me to do the same or smash.

I had a blast because when you start to spin at over 40 MPH on ice on a road that hasn't been plowed yet in the middle of a snow storm, it is kind of fun except for that whole dying thing. There was a van coming head on and I managed to use my street racing days as a good way to not hit something or someone, and landed in a parking lot without smashing up anything.

Wife hated it, but WOW the adrenaline.

Anyway, if crashing like that worries you, you can be sure it isn't gonna happen with this release of BSD

I was trying a little harder not to smash stuff, I haven't been to bed yet since when I woke up at 6 yesterday.

[nihil]

That's nothing. I want OVER 9000!!!!

OMG! You are going to have to behave yourself for a very long time then; aren't you?

[gore]

ell, after two cans of Wired X344 and this:

pkg_add -r wterm

I attached a screen shot of my FreeBSD-7.1-RELEASE box.

I'm currently running Window Maker on it right now. I do have KDE, Gnome, FVWM2, Enlightenment, and others installed, but for some reason I really like Window Maker lately. So anyway, the attached image is a screen shot.

I found the theme on some web site, and downloaded it for a Linux installation, but it works just fine on FreeBSD too.

Anyway, enjoy.

PS:

The reason I have so many wterm windows open is simple:

I was screwing with the -pixmap image.xpm thing.

I thought it was interestnig, so I grabbed a few pixmaps from the system and tossed them in a dir in my /home so I could play with them and see how they looked on a wterm.

I was messing with the fg color too.

Basically do this:

pkg_add -r wterm

Wait until it's finished

Run this command:

wterm -fg green -pixmap /home/gore/pixmps/imageToUse.xpm

After you run it, it's neat looking

Oh, and pay no attention to that play list. It's probably ging to offend someone. The Genitorturers aren't exactly PC, and neither is Cannibal Corpse.

Other stuff on that play list if your interested is basically what I listed, and The Crystal Method, Rammstein, R6.3zist (Industrial, I think from France), Body Count, Exhumed, Dying Fetus, Acid Bath, Mortician, Danzig, Bolt Thrower, Atari Teenage Riot, Gorguts, dieKrupps, Samhain, KMFDM, Hate Plow, Black Flag, and the Dead Kennedys.

Just in case you want your desktop to look exactly the same, lol. Oh and it's XMMS playing ad some WM Apps loaded. Now you too can make your desktop look like mine! All the way down to the MP3s and OGGs!

The Crystal Method, Rammstein, R6.3zist (Industrial, I think from France), Body Count, Exhumed, Dying Fetus, Acid Bath, Mortician, Danzig, Bolt Thrower, Atari Teenage Riot, Gorguts, dieKrupps, Samhain, KMFDM, Hate Plow, Black Flag, and the Dead Kennedys.

If you had not included Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys, I would have thought this to be a list of virus in your machine.

My current XMMS playlist... Tom Waits, Neil Young, Jackson Brown, Bonnie Raitt, Springsteen, Sinatra, Pavarotti, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Stones, AC/DC, Allman Bros, Grateful Dead, Nora Jones, Ella Fitz, Louis Armstrong, Billy Holiday, Etta James, Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Clapton, Dylan, Roy Orbison, Petty, ELO, Elvis.

.. and hosted on suse 10.3

Too each his own.

[gore]

Mine are virii? Lol, TRY googling John Lee Hooker, see if you get even ONE valid result

The only reason I know who that is, is from BOFH.

The rest I know though. My Wife Loves Tom Waits and, let's see here, Muddy, Armstrong, and probably a few others.

One thing though; How do you know the Sex Pistols, and not Samhain? or even Danzig?



EDIT:

"Location: Swamps of Jersey"

If you don't know who Danzig is and you're from NJ, I'm gonna slap you.

[Cheap Scotch Ron]

I was a bar rat in the late 70s early 80s. Went just about everywhere in the NJ/NYC/Philly area that hosted original music.

I cant say I know Danzig, but I saw the Misfits a few times in the late 70s in NYC (CBGB?). I started listening to the Sex Pistols after Sid OD'd. The girl I was "dating" at the time introduced me. (BTW.. She was very "talented".) Never Mind the Bollocks was her "mood" music.

Poor kids today... I can see why they stay home and spend countless hours install different *inux distros just for kicks. 'cause they aint too many places to go to listen to good original music anymore. In fact, there aint too much good music being made.

Finished rebuilding my workstation this weekend. It's updated to GNOME 2.24, I've got my X-Fi working and I even managed to get flash9 going...

/me is a happy camper

OMG! You are going to have to behave yourself for a very long time then; aren't you?

You know you are itching just to pull the trigger.

[gore]

If you want Flash I thought I might link to this:

http://crnl.org/blog/2008/11/01/flash-9-for-freebsd-71

I'm doing it now on my test box to see how it goes before doing it on this one. So far so good. And then you can watch stuff on You tube, listen to my music on Myspace, and generally get annoying looking sound effects included ads on other pages.

Who all is using BSD here anyway?

[t34b4g5]

Been using openbsd reguarly for a while now, never really had time to properly play with FreeBSD.

have a laptop running DesktopBSD .

don't know why it's called Desktop when it runs perfectly fine on a laptop. the ads are easy enough to block out if you have a little time on your hands to setup a few things.

and the real question should be who here is using Suse??
