User Reviews

  • Easy to install but the website is down as is the forum. The mirror is down (as a result running apt-get update is giving errors) and I can't seem to find another mirror via Google searching for it. I can't help but to think this project is dead.
  • FreeBSD 11.0 kernel released, support it ?! And use FreeBSD's bsd-libc?
  • I downloaded version 16.04 and installed it in VirtualBox 5.1.6 running under Windows. The installation is pretty lengthy, but finished without errors. ubuntuBSD runs amazingly stable despite its Beta version number - congrats to the developers! A major strength of ubuntuBSD is its support of GUI dialogs for most settings - comparable to a Linux system. However there are some issues: - software update through Xfce is faulty, i.e. hangs at some point and a one-way icon is shown in the status bar - "Umlaute", i.e. "ö,ä,ü" cannot be seen in the "Terminal" of Xfce (I use the Swiss german keyboard layout and I checked the ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15 and UTF-8 encodings) - The keyboard mapping is not set in virtual console, i.e. defaults to US - the Xfce shutdown offers only "Log Out". (Option "Shut Down" is greyed out). Under Virtual Box the function "Switch off by ACPI" shuts down the system, but is handeled faulty in doing a reboot afterwards ending in a BSD console.screen that is not helpful at all. - it is unclear which Virtual Box guest additions should be installed. Through the debian package manager the Linux additions are installed, but likely the FreeBSD guest additions are the correct ones (?).
