We are very excited about this, both because 5.3 is a good release, and because 6.0 will give us a chance to, erm, redeem ourselves and our development process. 5.x was a tremendous undertaking. SMPng, KSE, UFS2, background fsck, ULE, ACPI, etc., etc., etc. were all incredible tasks. Given that Search many of these things were developed and managed by unpaid volunteers, the fact that we made it to 5-STABLE at all is quite impressive and says a lot about the quality and determination of all of our developers and users. However, four years was quite a long time Monthly Ezine to work on it. While 4.x remained a good workhorse, it suffered from Search not having needed features and hardware support. 5.x suffered at the same time from having too much ambition but not enough developers to efficiently carry it through.

Running current software is critical when older services Credits are vulnerable to exploitation.

I explain how to install and upgrade several applications of this issue on a FreeBSD 5.2.1 RELEASE system. In my previous article "Keeping FreeBSD Up-To-Date," I described how to patch and upgrade the FreeBSD operating system, beginning with FreeBSD 5.2.1 and ending with FreeBSD 5-STABLE. Taken as a pair, these two articles will help system administrators keep their FreeBSD OS and applications current and defensible. Read More Daemon's Advocate by Poul-Henning Kamp When I hear somebody like Robert Watson complain about not being able to find features and options in OpenOffice, I am reminded of my own introduction to UNIX: "I'm sure there is a way to do this, but I wonder what the program is called...". As the deadlines made me older I came to know the contents of /usr/bin by heart, and it now feels like my organised but cluttered workshop where I can almost always find a gadget and thingmajic which can be used to solve the problem at hand. Over time new things have appeared in /usr/bin but that has not been a problem for me, because it did not rename the old commands so all the tricks I learned on System III still work.

Search BSD Submit News FAQ Contact Us Join Us Digium releases g.729 codec for FreeBSD Search By Chris Coleman Monthly Ezine I've been using Asterisk as our company PBX and doing consulting work on Asterisk to help pay the bills for quite some time. For the most part, I've been Search able to use BSD as the OS for it to run on. However, one of my bigger contracts required the use of the g.729 codec. A few weeks back, I approached Digium about making the g.729 codec Get BSD Stuff available for FreeBSD as well as Linux. The first response I got was that Linux was their only supported platform. Basically the same thing they said when we wanted to port the Digium hardware drivers to BSD. The problem this time is that g.729 was licensed code that we didn't have, compared to the open source hardware drivers that we didn't need their permission to port ourselves. So, I announced on bsdnews.com a call for people to contact Digium and request that they create a binary of g.729 for FreeBSD. Just recently I got an e-mail from my contacts at digium announcing that the g.729 port was ready, though officially "unsupported". So, thankyou to all who called and helped lobby for this.

There are many ways you can get OpenBSD up and running on your machine. Get BSD Stuff I will assume you are using the official OpenBSD CD set because if you aren't, you should be. The official CD's are one of the few ways to support the OpenBSD community financially. A few things you should consider before beginning: 1. Which platform you will be using (e.g., i386, sparc, macppc, etc...). See http://openbsd.org/plat.html for a complete list. 2. Hardware information such as RAM, hard drive size, and ethernet. 3. Network settings (especially if you decide to install without the official CD set). Machine Name Domain Name IP address or DHCP Netmask DNS server Gateway IP 4. How you will lay out your OpenBSD file system. (You can set OpenBSD up as a partition on a multiboot machine. More on that later.) Now lets get to it... For this document I will be installing OpenBSD 3.5 onto a Mac with the following: 450 MHz G4 processor (old world PowerPC's are not supported yet, so NetBSD is the answer for all those old beige G3 towers) 1024 MB RAM 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (built-in) 25 GB HD Matshita PD-2 LF-D110 CD-ROM/DVD-RAM For information on supported hardware see the OpenBSD platforms page. Make sure to back up anything on the drive that you need to keep. Don't say I didn't warn you! Insert the installation CD into the machine and boot from it. Make sure you put the correct CD in for the platform you're installing on. For an i386 install, enter the BIOS and change the boot device to CD-ROM. For macppc just hold down the c key at boot, or boot into Open Firmware (by holding down Apple+Option+o+f) and type: boot cd:,ofwboot 3.5/macppc/bsd.rd After the CD boots up and the device driver information scrolls past, the install program will start and ask you what to do.

    OM-Cube Project

    OM-Cube project V. Hiribarren, N. Marchand, N. Talfer [email protected] - [email protected] - [email protected] Abstract. The OM-Cube project is composed of several components like a minimal operating system, a multi- media player, a LCD display and an infra-red controller. They should be chosen to fit the hardware of an em- bedded system. Several other similar projects can provide information on the software that can be chosen. This paper aims to examine the different available tools to build the OM-Multimedia machine. The main purpose is to explore different ways to build an embedded system that fits the hardware and fulfills the project. 1 A Minimal Operating System The operating system is the core of the embedded system, and therefore should be chosen with care. Because of its popu- larity, a Linux based system seems the best choice, but other open systems exist and should be considered. After having elected a system, all unnecessary components may be removed to get a minimal operating system. 1.1 A Linux Operating System Using a Linux kernel has several advantages. As it’s a popular kernel, many drivers and documentation are available. Linux is an open source kernel; therefore it enables anyone to modify its sources and to recompile it. Using Linux in an embedded system requires adapting the kernel to the hardware and to the system needs. A simple method for building a Linux embed- ded system is to create a partition on a development host and to mount it on a temporary mount point. This partition is filled as one goes along and then, the final distribution is put on the target host [Fich02] [LFS].

Kernel, filesystem and base unix utilities as well as it's own package managers. It's not a secret that Mac OS X has a bSD kernel Darwin. The raw Mac OS X won't provide you with all power of Unix but this could be easily fixed: install package manager. There are 3 package manager: MacPorts, Fink and Homebrew. To dive in OpenSource world of mac os x we would try to install lates version of bash, bash-completion and few other utilities. Where we should start? First of all you need to install on you system dev-tools: Xcode – native development tools that contain GCC and libraries. Next step: bring a GIU – X11 into your system. Starting from Mac OS 10.8 X11 is not included in base-installation and it's need to install Xquartz(http://xquartz.macosforge.org).
