<div dir="ltr">GhostBSD is nice, come with the option of openbox GUI. Also, on a unrelated topic Chrunchbang Linux is pretty sweet. I brought it up because it reminds me of OpenBSD/FreeBSD as I usually try and run them with as little overhead as possible; due to my use on old and virtual machines.</div>

If there is big interest we can use a future meeting time to talk about FreeBSD (and compare it to Linux since this is a Linux User Group). As for next meeting location:<br>

Since the next meeting is all about ZFS and I will be bringing my machine running FreeBSD and ZFS on root, and because of the release of<br>
FreeBSD 10 (builds have started; I expect there will be an official announcement in the next day or two), I thought I'd give a short talk on<br>
FreeBSD if there is some interest. Things I would cover:<br>
<br>
- Philosophical differences between Linux and the BSDs (mostly design and technical aspects, but I will touch on licensing)<br>
- Upgrades/updates to the base system vs. updates/upgrades to third-party software and package management (ports/pkgng) in FreeBSD<br>
- Some cool new things in FreeBSD 10<br>
- An overview of the other BSDs<br>
- Any questions you may have<br>
<br>
I'm open to suggestions as well, so let me know if you'd like me to go over anything else.<br>

Hi Andrew-<br>
<br>
I'd be interested to know where FreeBSD stands as a desktop? In years past I read that PCBSD was making strides, but why would I want to it as a desktop now? I don't know if this is an appropriate venue to ask this question? I know FreeBSD rawks as a stand alone server. One complain from a friend year back is that it didn't really have a strong support for virtualization and clustering. Also, interested in hearing the original topic on ZFS.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
SDA<div><div><br>
