So, a long time ago, I had a box which was running FreeBSD 4, running on

So, a long time ago, I had a box which was running FreeBSD 4, running on a Pentium. This housed my public server, website, and mail server. After I while, I had to rebuild it, and went back to Linux.
14 years later, I have decided to get back into FreeBSD, now at FreeBSD
10. I have it running headless on two boxes, and I have decided to take
the \'30 Day Challenge\'. You know, all the bloggers tell you to try
something for 30 days before you give up on it.

I am going to try to give FreeBSD a go as my daily driver for 30 (or so)
days. I cannot do this full time, as I so Linux support in my day job,
so I cannot change over the work laptop (yet). I have installed
[PCBSD-10](http://www.pcbsd.org) on one of my spare laptops. Why PCBSD
and not pure FreeBSD? Well, I do not know enough yet to get past UEFI
boot and the NVidia/Intel dual graphics, so I cheated. I imagine that I
before the end, I will either reload this laptop or start from scratch
on my current daily personal driver.

So, most of my cli tools came over very cleanly, with the exception of
abook. On Linux, I track the git repo, and the version in the ports tree
is a bit older, so I will need to either compile it from git, or change
my config to use the older version. But the rest, mutt, tmux,
newsbeauter, irssi, and such, all work out of the box.

In the X department, PCBSD has my current favorite window-manager, i3,
so that is all good. The only issue I hit is the version of firefox in
the PCBSD port tree is broken, and I am going to stay away from the PBI
as much as I can. I feel that PBI are too much like installing something
under windows, i.e. install the app, and all the libraries it needs to
run. In my option, a waste of space, and un-patched libraries on my
system. Thank you, I will pass. I ended up enabling the normal FreeBSD
ports tree to install it.

I have ported most of my custom scripts over. Most of the work is in the
fact that bash lives somewhere different (/usr/local/bin vs /bin). There
are a few commands either missing or I have not installed them yet, and
a couple of core commands have very different syntax.

I figure for most of what I do, this will be very easy to switch over,
but the main area I am unsure of at this point is in photo editing and
photo management. I use a commercial Linux package, and I will need to
figure out how to make it work under the Linux compatibility layer.

Much progress made in the world of a bootable USB stick to get my

to a new USB stick, booted it, and was able to successfully scan for my
Access Points! W00t!

Tomorrow, I will take the second laptop (HP EliteBook Revolve 810), and
load it with 10-Release (slightly patched). I do not expect everything
to work (it has a touch screen), but enough should work that I can start
using it for the daily driver. Having real wifi will help a lot.

My updates have been a bit slow due to craziness at work. I am taking a
trip, and the departure date has been reset many times. I am on my 5th
set of airline tickets. With things settled, I need to decide if I am
going to bring the second laptop (the R180) with me or not. Weight
issues and all.

How do I think this is going? Well, the two major issues I thought I
would have going in, WiFi and Photo editing/management, are for the most
part solved. Can I use this for my daily non-work driver? Yes. Can I use
it for my work daily driver? Maybe. I have set up a few jails on the
FreeNAS box (btsync, dns/dhcp, [taskwarrior\'s
taskd](http://taskwarrior.org/docs/server_setup.html), and Plex), and
they are mainly working well together (the Plex will not play nice with
btsync, yet), but I need to figure out a bit more, and set it up as a
target to backup my laptop\'s ZFS snapshots.

look at something like puppet/chef/salt.

Busy day with other things than play computers, but I found a little
time. I have FreeBSD 10-STABLE loaded with the custom WiFi hack on my
[Elitebook Revolve
810](http://notebookplanet.blogspot.com/2013/04/hp-elitebook-revolve-810-g1-tablet.html)
. I would have to let it try to boot off the USB stick. After multiple
tries, it would finally run the installer. I tried ZFS a few times, but
if I did not select MBR format for the partition table, then it would
not boot (no OS error). With MBR and ZFS, it would fail to mount the ZFS
filesystem with \<strong\>error 2\</strong\>. After trying the various
fixes listed on-line, I gave up and went with MBR and UFS.

Once installed, it was fairly easy to get going. I have not configured
it to take on the role of daily driver yet. If I have time tomorrow,
then I will do it then, otherwise, it will have to wait a bit as I am
getting on a plane this weekend, and I will not have room for the second
computer. I will try to get it as far as I can with ssh.

Just a quick update. Yesterday, I got abook working. Kind of a hack,
though. I used gcc to compile it, vs. clang. I will have to revisit this
and offer up some patches to the abook project.

I have also been playing with **x11/xpra** which bills itself as
\'screen for X11\'. That, combined with
[sshuttle](https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle) , lets me get in from
work and do some work during lunch. It may also give me a tempory way to
use
[AfterShotPro](http://www.corel.com/corel/product/index.jsp?pid=prod4670071&amp;cid=catalog20038&amp;segid=6000006)
until I get the whole Linux compatability layer thing figured out.

Sorry...busy time at work and with the family.
Small updates: I have the external VGA dongle working. No config needed,
just plug it in and it works. I really need to fix the WiFi so I can
stop using the USB dongle on it. Also, I have updated mutt to 1.5.23,
and that upgrade went smoothly. Since I am not using the default build,
it was a matter of *portsnap fetch && portsnap update && cd
/usr/ports/mail/mutt && pkg remove mutt && make install clean* and all
is good!

My biggest update is that I got AfterShotPro working! It as a simple as
reading the pages in the
[manual](http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu-lbc-install.html),
and changing the path to bash in the launcher script, and all is good! I
should really look into what it takes to make a port so when I set up
the next few computers, I will not have to do this by hand again.

Next thing to figure out is how to get the sound to come out of my
headphones instead of the speakers. Since I did not have to do anything
to get sound, I figure this is just a bit of RTFM\'ing on my part.

AKA Fight with Thunderbird and Lightning.
I broke down and installed a PBI for now. I could not get Lightning, the
calendaring AddOn for Thunderbird to work using the native FreeBSD pkg
or the linux-thunderbird one. The linux-thunderbird package actually
refused to start for me. I need to go figure out how to generate a PR.

The other thing I am playing with is building a memstick image after
patching the kernel using this
[post](https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=35467) in the FreeBSD
Forums. This is for the **Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 WiFi Driver**
which I have in all my laptops. The data wants to be free! from wires.
Since it is chunking away, I will test tomorrow.

Things are going well. Found a few more small utilities that I use under
Linux and added them via pkgng, and all is good.

Next up: system debugging. The system will slow down at random points,
so I need to go find a good performance debug guide. The only thing
changed was I imported my music library (\~60G), but my drive is still
plenty empty (\~37% used), so I do not think it is ZFS, but I am not
sure.

The other is the custom boot stick I made does not work. The initial
loader will start, but then it stops. So, I need to find the docs on the
boot process there.

Well, Something broke on the main computer. The speed when trying to run
a few terminal apps, firefox, and thunderbird at the same time was
appalling. I never had that sort of performance issues under ArchLinix
on the same kit. I would love to take the time to debug it, but I am
almost four weeks behind in dealing with my photos, including those from
my trip to England, and I am getting ready to do run some training
courses for work which will suck up all my free time.

And I wanted to run a script I wrote a long time ago to support a

updated in a while. The way I would update the site is by doing some
batch editing of photos, park them in a directory, and then run my
script which pushes the photos to the web server, and then interfaces
with the CMS software to schedule the posts and all is good.

Except the script is in perl, and it uses some modules which are not
main-stream. While perl has the awesome **cpan(1perl)** command to fetch
and install perl modules, I wanted it to be tied into **pacman(8)** . A
quick trip to the [AUR](http://aur.archlinux.org/) turned up the tools
[cpan2aur](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-cpanplus-dist-arch-git/)
and
[mkaurball](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pkgbuild-introspection-git/)
which made it pretty easy to package up and post the the AUR the 9 perl
modules I needed to get my script going and keep track of things with
pacman.

For some reason, we have had a bit of power issues around the house
recently. No big deal, just enough to cause non-UPS computers to reboot.
Well, one of them was the firewall (the UPS on it pop a while back, and
I just have not gotten around to replacing it). But, it would not come
back the last time. Drag a it over to a monitor and have a look at the
console. No HD. Nuts. On a backup solution until the new SSD to replace
the dead (non)spinning rust shows up.

And, yet again, I change this site up. I was getting tired of dealing with Word Press and everything around it, so I decided to switch back to a static site generator. This time, I went with something with better themes. [hugo](https://gohugo.io). It is taking a bit of time to get use to it. The categories all dropped when I moved over, so I will have to fix that, and a few other odds and ends.
