Re: [SL] Best Linux OS for SL?

[Adam V. M. <amv...@gm...>]

I've been using FreeBSD since 2.2.8 (and one prototype laptop that would
only run 2.2.2) and I would also agree that it's a great choice for running
SL.  (Our install is running on 6.1->6.2) I would however add the there is
no reason not to use the package's instead of building from ports.  You'll
save loads of time, and the packages are already optimized plus you'll make
it easier on FreeBSD's bandwidth as there isn't as much to d/l(if something
comes up down the road you can always change it later).  And as already
noted, use either package or the ports tree, not both.

If you're really insistent on having a GUI check out www.pcbsd.org - FBSD +
KDE

I've beening using it to install desktop workstations, but the project has
commercial backing and a server option during the install plus the pbi
collection allows for clickable installers for common apps eg apache, open
office, etc.  Of course it comes with it's own standard quirks, but they're
easy to overcome if you're familiar w/ FBSD.

Looks like I cannot install SQL on the VMWare package of this  :(

At least not using:
cd /usr/ports/finance/sql-ledger/ && make install clean

Re: [SL] Best Linux OS for SL?

[ATM L. <atm...@km...>]

Any Idea what I am missing??

I have freeBSD installed, and I go to cd /usr/ports/ and ... There is
nothing there... I cannot go to finance  etc...  Tried and failed with the
VMWare, then on the full meal deal??

Edit config files and follow installation instructions. All other dependencies 
would be installed automatically.

I reccomend using Portsnap instead of cvsup.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/portsnap.html

Re: [SL] Best Linux OS for SL?

[ATM L. <atm...@km...>]

Thanks for taking the time for the help, however I have tried 2 flavors of
FreeBSD, and as much as I would like it to work, I am getting little
failures here here and there (pkg_add -r csup, fails, even when I get
sql-ledger installed, I don't have pico to edit, so forced to use other
apps, then I am a little confused... No Lynx, or links, not even mc...

So... Going with CentOS, I know it well enough, and will try FreeBSD as a
project, not a production unit.

csup is already in FreeBSD 6.2 base system- I referred to 6.1 in case you have 
older installation.

Re: [SL] Best Linux OS for SL?

[Vladimir B. <vl...@bo...>]

Hello,
if you installed from CD then you can install the port collection much
faster this way:
1. put your CD in
2. as a root type # sysinstal
3. go to CONFIGURE->DISTRIBUTIONS
4. check out the [x] ports
5. and press [OK]
The port collection will be installed from your CD. Then you can find
the SL in /usr/ports/finance directory. <gently flame=off> But in the
long run with FreeBSD you can not avoid reading the handbook. It will
pay you in time. I promisse.

Cheers, -vlado

... OR ...

Simply use Fedora Core instead, & it will automagically work.

I've had the same results with SuSE.
