|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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
|
|
<a href="http://www.pcbsd.org" title="PCBSD">PCBSD10</a> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I do not promise daily updates, but I will try to keep a journal of my
|
|
progress.</p>
