Give it a while

FreeBSD is not ready for the desktop…. I’m not entirely sure that people are saying it is, but I learned recently that it’s not. Ports is a great way to manage programs in some ways, but not practical for people with slow machines…. sigh. The package system is nice…. but how primitive compared with Debian! (I’m spoiled.) It also just seemed a lot less responsive, but I think that may have something to do with the fact that one of my DIMMS was loose….
So, it’s back to Debian for me. Things are running so much more smoothly. Woo hoo.
As I was doing the shift back to Debian, I decided to go all out with my music and get everything I have on CD on to my hard drive and backed up on mp3 CD. So that took like all week, but now I have 9 full mp3 CDs and a nifty fully-stocked Gnump3d streaming server (available on Biola’s network only.)
Anyone on web, call me web master.
