PC-BSD 7 is a mixed bag

10-07-2008 01:00 AM
FreeBSD is a Unix-like open source operating system that can trace its ancestry back to the original Unix. It's well known and well respected in the server marketplace, but until recently FreeBSD lacked an easy-to-use desktop version. In 2005 the PC-BSD project was started to provide just that. This month PC-BSD version 7 was released. I downloaded and installed it to see how it squares up to user-friendly Linux distributions like Ubuntu. I came away a little disappointed.

     in      Packets received on in are forwarded to mixed.

     out     Packets received on out will be discarded as illegal.

     mixed   Packets received on mixed are forwarded to out.

CONTROL MESSAGES

SHUTDOWN

     This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.

SEE ALSO

     netgraph(4), ngctl(8)

HISTORY

     The ng_split node type was implemented in FreeBSD 3.5 but incorporated into FreeBSD in FreeBSD 5.0.
