My New FreeBSD Desktop

After wining about Gentoo on my previous post, I decided to bring back FreeBSD back to the Desktop world, and its back once again. I also ditched Fluxbox and install Xfce. Here is a glimpse of Sophie my new FreeBSD box.

RE:Gentoo Linux on Desktop

Gentoo is really just gay, building package, recompiling andupdating stuffs is really too slow. Switching back to FreeBSD

Hail FreeBSD
Hail!!!!!

Gentoo Linux on Desktop

I will be reaping off FreeBSD from Desktop(/me tears dropping) well FreeBSD isnt too friendly when it comes to Desktop, but no question to its stability and all that kind of stuffs, anyways I wont be dropping FreeBSD from my daily life, I will still have FreeBSD on the side that will be used for experiments, research and contribution purposes. Enough with the drama, who will be replacing Beastie? Beastie will be replaced by Barry, who is Barry? Barry the Cow, Gentoo's mascot =). Will be posting a snapshot on the new Gentoo system when I pulled everything out.

Metro Drowned due to typhoon

I woke up around 9:30AM on September 26, 2009 its a Saturday so no work for me, I went out to have my morning Cig and Coffee and saw this....

AND THIS

This is my worst experience when it comes to raining in Metro. The flood went in to our room and waited for a couple of hours for it to subside and then clean up the mess, its a pain in the ass. Well I cant complain much when I saw the news that in the Quezon City, Makirina and the rest of the Metro area the flood is reaching up to the human neck.

FreeBSD on Laptop

Got FreeBSD on my laptop, with an X server of course. A glimpse of my desktop below =)

Running:
Fluxbox
Gkrellm

Fenopy Torrents

Fellow geeks, I found this torrent site, slick and quite reliable.

Aside from the good old Pirate Bay and Mininova, this is a good alternative as well. Enjoy
