After reading Contributing to FreeBSD I felt kind of sad. I have used FreeBSD since 1993 and I have not given back that much to the BSD community. That is going to change! I have created a Picasa FreeBSD Wallpaper Album and I am drafting some posts of a fresh FreeBSD 7.1 install that will include a basic setup. There will be hopefully the following entries.
- What do I do after the install
- Different ways to update the OS
- Different ways to install ports
- Installing Jails with ezjail
And a lot more, but please read Contributing to FreeBSD, it might change your mind about contributing to your favorite free software project.

FreeBSD Again! 2
After installing and testing FreeBSD 7.1, I have decided to change course for this Blog. I am going to write a few FreeBSD entries. So stay tuned, they might be of interest to some one I hope.

FreeBSD Again!
Well I have been bitten by the FreeBSD bug again. After looking at FreeBSD 7.1 and the upcoming 8 release I have decided to install it on a spare box and not a VM. Here is some pages with the 7.1 notes and the 8.0 notes. FreeBSD 8 looks awesome with Jails V2, XEN dom-u support, and Network stack virtualization. Kinda makes me want to do network stack programming again!
