bsd exodus 2 weeks ago….

to solaris…. to ubuntu …. to suse …. to solaris and now back to bsd….

i wrote up a pro’s and cons of esch system and what i use it for and bsd won. i found ubuntu caters to whims but is not solid, for exampe flakey - nvidia driver - unbearable -deal breaker

is there anyway, that ubuntu could be placed ontop of freebsd?
i remember when using freebsd… my system ram usage was so low.. like maybe it would hit 100mb from a 1g on idle.. even tho i am comfortable with ubuntu.. ubuntu sits at a nice 250~.

i know theres a debian/bsd project..

i really do beleive that a ubuntu/bsd project would help set of the bsd world…
and yes ok - i know there is a large bsd community… and yes i know that windows hackers use linux and linux hackers use bsd but.. dell are not offering suse, they are not offering redhat either (tho hp offer redhat for server/workstation) but it seems no body is offering bsd.. (correct me if im wrong)

i’d really like to get ubuntu’s finess and refinement of the gnome desktop ontop of a bsd kernel.. like the freebsd 7 system for instance.. it would work so well it think.

any ideas?

THANKS, Janez … was a bear to compile in RC1 and it finally came together but when I hit Utoob, Firephuck bombs and goes away every time … though I do get ADVERTS perfectly. :(

Looks like this recipe needs more salt - took DAYS to load RC1 and then do a portupgrade and all on it … looks like the 7.0 itself needs more salt, and then there’s the Firephuck salt on top of it … so far, results dismal but will keep trying. THANKS VERY MUCH though anyway! :)
