Recent Updates
[2008-08-09]: KDE 4.1.0 for FreeBSD now available

On behalf of the FreeBSD KDE team, it is my great pleasure to announce that KDE4 has been merged into the FreeBSD ports tree. The official KDE 4.1.0 release notes can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.1/ and FreeBSD users should also refer to the KDE 4.1 on FreeBSD notes.

Compiling now... on a P4 (10 hours so far) no errors unless you don't reinstall glib 2.16.5 instead of 2.14.x

Big updates like that scare me. I usually take a few weeks vacation from portsnap'ing.

But that is just because I'm a big wuss. Kudos to the KDE on FreeBSD team.

Well its a P4, so I don't have that much going on with it. But so far its been smooth sailing.And I can give bug reports if it cocks up since I am really looking forward to 4.1 and its candy coated goodness.

Does anyone know of a kernel module that will read/mount HFS+? I have a drobo formatted in it and I would like it to mount to my FreeBSD desktop. I looked around and found an old article about it from back around 5.1 but nothing else.

There's http://www.freshports.org/emulators/hfsutils/, but it doesn't explicitly say HFS+.

Got myself some wheels!

Installing mencoder - FreeBSD has a high "scrolling text" in response to commands ratio, all I typed was "make" and the bitch has been going crazy for a bit now.

That's why its awesome. press enter and movie style "lots of stuff happening"

No, it doesn't explain it. That is the dumbest loving excuse ever. His logic is essentially "how can users get root without authorization if su requires them to be in the wheel?!"

I started with FreeBSD without doing much with Linux. Everytime I tried to play with linux (command line up). The documentation was horrid / out of date etc

The FreeBSD handbook was really good, and what it didn't fully explain was really easy to look up. I started from nothing, to having a usable gateway with DHCP, DNS, pf Firewall, and super slim kernel in about 5-6 days . It was a lot of fun for a first project. Now it's my go to for server OSes.
