Wow. Just wow. I love free stuff. So instead of buying Vista, I got UNIX. Weirdness on top of strangeness installing FreeBSD on the ol' Dell Inspiron 4100. Couple of things:
- FreeBSD may not be for the lazy...
- ...but it can be installed pretty easily
The sound is an on-board Intel pcm thingie. Put the following in /boot/loader.conf:
snd_ich_load="YES"
If you like it GUI (and who doesn't) ya gotta install KDE. Once KDE is installed you should log out of root and login to the mere mortal profile (i.e. plain vanilla user) you added during installation. Create a file called .xinitrc in your home directory, open it in any editor and add this: startkde
Type startx at the prompt. Ta-da!
That's all folks.
