FreeSBIE: FreeBSD/Gentoo Is there any interest in the FreeBSD/Gentoo project ?
Gentoo was always my distro of choice, and I later found OpenBSD. Now
I've found found this combo that's great (I'll go with FreeBSD instead of OpenBSD) if I can just get an install going.

I know about it, but I get by fine with Gentoo (which I'm using less and less), so I never tried it out. Good luck though

Re: FreeSBIE: FreeBSD/Gentoo Hello everyone! Just joined the forum. I am currently looking at PCBSD, which is supposed to be a desktop version of the server program. It is supposed to be easier to navigate your computer and easier to load than than other versions. I will let you know if I can ever get the computer I want to put it on going. A friend gave it to me. Said he went to put a different OS on it and it won't work anymore. It appears to be in a boot up loop with setup not complete. I have tried another HD and it does the same. It appears the BIOS is messed up. I have tried finding something on the BIOS, but have nothing that looks like it would work. That is why I joined this forum, to see if I can find some help. Off to check another thread.
