After nearly 4 years i thought it was time to buy a new FreeBSD desktop.
\nLast week I bought a Shuttle XPC, with an Intel G31\/ICH7 Chipset, a Core 2 Duo E8200, 2×2,66Ghz. It is faster than mchammer, my previous desktop and a lot quieter.
\nI named it dilek, a beautiful name which means something like desire.
\nSince last weekend was a party weekend it took me until this weekend to finally finish the installation.
\nBecause it is not possible to disable the BIOS Boot sector protection, you may want to run boot0cfg -o noupdate<\/tt>
\nThe ACPI implementation is buggy, so unless you like console message everyfew seconds, you have to run with debug.acpi.disabled=\"thermal\"<\/tt>
\nThe X installation was a bit problematic, as i had to add the device ids to the agp kernel driver and had to install the git version of the xorg intel driver. But now it is running smooth.
\nI am now installing KDE4 on it. With the new desktop i now have enough CPU power to help porting KDE4. Now i just need some more free time…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
