The speed of pacman greatly depends on which mirrors you choose. Pacman uses wget by...

FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for modern server, desktop, and embedded computer platforms.[[http://freebsd.org]] This is only a brief crash course or introduction to a few of the import tasks in FreeBSD, mostly installing ports/packages, upgrading the system and navigating the file system. FreeBSD maintains an incredible wealth of documentation on their website, see their [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ Handbook] for information. A great intro to FreeBSD can be found http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/linux-users/article.html <box :!!!:> Please note that I come mostly from Linux, so I tend to setup FreeBSD in a manner that is similar to my Linux environment (ie, bash vs csh...). </box> > Each command in this topic starts with a # if it is meant to be run as the root user, or a $ (or no sign) if it is meant to be run as the regular user (your main user account)

Linux itself is not an operating system. For simplicity, we use the word Linux to describe the entire operating system as a whole, but it is important to know this is not technically correct. Linux is only the kernel code (main brain) itself, written by Linus Torvalds. A kernel alone is useless, it needs a thousand other tools and applications to form an operating system. A Linux distribution is a Linux kernel with a ton of other software packages and pieces created by many other people...

There may or may not be a trail and there will most likely be a lot of bushwhacking. We do have a GPS and we have mapped out the area well.

<p>This topic helps with two things. One is to upgrade an old Ubuntu release to a new release, and by old I mean one that is no longer supported. Keep in mind that if say 9.04 is unsupported, but 9.10 is still supported, you can simply do the <tt>do-release-update</tt>. This doc helps when both 9.04 and 9.10 and above are EOL (end of life). Second is to maintain the use of an old Ubuntu distro even after its repositories stop working. Basically if you don't install the LTS (Long Term Support) release of Ubuntu then your distro is only supported for about a year. After that year all your repositories (using apt-get) fail and cannot be found. <strong>This is because Ubuntu archives the old repositories to a different URL.</strong> You don't actually have to upgrade your old Ubuntu distro, and you can continue to use it and its repos, you just have to switch to the new repo URL's. See below.</p>
