FreeBSD 7.0
I've been struggling with getting my webcams up and running again with FreeBSD 6.2, mostly because the ports are greatly broken with 6.2. Most of the ports I attempt to install just fail during the compliation. I suspect that it is because I have somehow managed to munge my ports tree with that of a 7.x beta tree...or something along those lines.
In any case, I'm going to reload SATAN with the newly released 7.0 FreeBSD system, and I might even throw X windows on there (ohhh..the horror... a graphical interface on a server). Maybe. Maybe. Who knows...it might be fun for a change to run the it from a GUI than a CLI.
I hope that this will at least be smoother an a Linux-to-NetBSD-to-Linux-to-FreeBSD conversion that I did earlier this year. At least I can throw my entire root filesystem onto the backup drive and reload it if I don't like 7.0 :)
