It is the 10th day of the month, and I am 10 days in trying to use
FreeBSD as my daily non-work driver. How is it going?
Well, for the most part, well. I can spend most of my personal work-flow
on the FreeBSD laptop with no issues. There are a couple of things I
have not moved over yet, and those relate to my photo work-flow. The
main application, [AfterShotPro](https://aftershotpro.com) is installed
and working (see
[my previous desciption \<freebsd-challenge-day-4-6\>]{role="doc"} of
installing in), however, I have not moved over the scripts I use in the
flow. I believe they will just come over, but I have not had a chance to
test them.
I was using [Chromium](https://chromium.org), but any Flash site did not
work. I need to revisit this at some point, but for now I went back to
Firefox, and it is working create.
The only major thing right now I need to figure out is how FreeBSD deals
with sound. I can hear things from the speakers just fine, but I need to
figure out how to enable and use an USB headset. Not the biggest, but
still. I also need to either install & configure Skype, or find a
replacement video chat to use with the wife while traveling that works
under FreeBSD. I like the second option better, but I have not really
had the time to do the research.
And, the new site generating suite I am using works under FreeBSD. I
wrote and posted this from the FreeBSD laptop.
More updates soon.
