I Decided to give FreeBSD a real try, so I removed the windows harddrive from my laptop computer (I now use that as backup drive) an put in a brand new harddisk (it was a gift from friends) and installed FreeBSD 6.0 First week it was compiling a lot of programs (usefull a broadband internet connection in the office) not that it was compiling 24/24h but here's a summary of what I compiled Bash,Emacs,Eclipse,mc,Apache22,php5+extensions,Mysql,KDE 3.5.2, windowmaker, etc... the one that took most was KDE 3.5.2 off course.
But I can say that it's running very smoothly ;)
Now that FreeBSD as even Java due to an agreement with Sun I has gained a lot of points for me since I do a lot of java programming. Even that I could have used gcj for java but that one has still some missing graphical support.

About Me
- Jurgen H
- Started my interest in PC when i was 7, writing simple applications with basic on the ZX spectrum. Later i also did some programs in Pascal .Afterwards I purchased my first personal PC a Pentium 133 on which i installed red hat 5.2 as first Linux distribution. In the next years I went with Red Hat until version 7.0 which came with a bugged compiler leading to unstable system since i compiled the kernel for my system. This lead me to switch to Slackware wich I'm currently still using. Now I'm a Sys Admin, and in my free time I still do some development in Java and PHP.
