Yesterday, I tried to install FreeBSD 9.0 on an old Laptop running an Athlon XP-M CPU. NetBSD did install on it, but had a few issues, and I wanted to see how FreeBSD would fare on it and compare the dmesg-outputs in order to solve NetBSD’s issues, if possible. I downloaded the ISO from freebsd.org, [...]

It is a great system that lets you decide whether you like to install from officially pre-built binary packages, or from source by compiling each package directly. You can even mix binary installs with your own builds, the pkgsrc-system is capable of handling this. Depending on machine-speed, I [...]
