• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    PF rules for a DHCP server?

    Honestly, if you don't know the answer to something this simple, you should go read the pf FAQ again. I don't mean that in a rude way, but it's true. If you can't write one pf rule that is about as easy as a rule gets, how are going to get pf set up at all? And eventually you WILL regret not...

    Is Debian the way to go

    All you need is the netinstall disc, it's only 100MB. And yes, debian is definitely the way to go.

    FreeBSD 5.4 RELEASE up and running

    The reasoning is that some of those incremental upgrades may have serious bugs that would normally be ironed out before a -RELEASE is made. I usually track -STABLE on desktops and various servers at home and almost never run into a problem, but if my job depended on keeping a critical server up...

    networked directory - nfs or samba

    IMO Samba is better for that purpose. Simpler and more secure too.

    Debian opinions

    There aren't seven "install discs". There is one install disc. Every package debian has available are on those discs. But you only use one disc to actually install it. Then you can either get the packages you want from the CD's, or from the net. The only people who use all of the CD's, in...

    Debian opinions

    Ya, they just call a development branch "stable". :p I love FreeBSD and I love Debian. For my current desktop hardware, Debian is a better choice. ATI videocard, and a CPU that is getting slightly flaky and bombs out with segfaults on long portupgrades. But I like them both equally, to...

    Debian opinions

    Sarge is testing actually. Personally, I think Debian is the best distribution overall. Far and away the best package management, nothing else even comes close. Also has the best selection of packages and the best unofficial repositories. Hemi is right though... do not go with Woody. It's 3...

    linux refresh rate problem?

    Basically, you need to have the exact, correct vertical and horizontal refresh frequencies for your monitor in your xorg.conf file. If it only gives you a 60hz option, but you know the monitor is capable of more, it meanse SuSE incorrectly detected your monitor settings. Google for the specs...

    Why not Debian?

    GDM is a pain, that's for sure. You could either turn off the service from starting with /usr/sbin/update-rc.d (or apt-get install rcconf, run it, and unselect gdm), or you could simply keep hitting control-alt-backspace until stops respawning. I think it takes about 10 kills or so, I'm not...

    Why not Debian?

    You don't need to change your runlevel to exit X, whatever gave you that idea? Also, Debian has several thousand more packages available than Gentoo has in Portage. I believe Debian has upwards of 10,000, and Gentoo has somewhere around 6,500.
