I'm new to FreeBSD so this made my life SO much easier, thank you!

[KowboyUSA]

Sweet. More FreeBSD. Going in my favs folder.

The music wasn't bad. People are already stressed out looking forward to some real feedback on real hardware. Maybe there is a thrift shop around? Or something on something like eBay?

[heinzpilot]

Didn't work for me. Followed exactly as in this video but gnome-desktop won't start. Just ends up at the text login. Not sure why. I'm using FreeBDS version13. Great video though.

root ALL=(ALL) ALL
john ALL=(ALL) ALL

[alexeypolovinkin]

Realy hardcore )))
What about hardware aceleration, memory usage?
p.s. oh, yes - thanks you!!!

[llothar]

What graphics card should i use? AMD or NVidia? Can it run on an older Radeon HD 7850 with 3D acceleration?

[maxmustermann]

I knew I'd get around reading the fucking manual :D
thanks.

however, somehow the entry in the sudoers file didn't take and I get "is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported" when trying to use the terminal.
Also, I can not enable auto login or change my user group to admin. The former just doesn't take and automatically resets next time I open that window, the latter prompts me to log out and in again but doesn't take either.

It’s interesting and telling that all these demos are done on virtual machines, as if no one has the confidence in the OS working properly. Incidentally, the music is irrelevant and distracting. Human explanation would be a lot more useful and helpful.
