[FreeBSD] Ouch ... ok lolz

I challenged my luck and tried FreeBSD again - for the xxth time, I can't really remember when was the last time.

Unfortunately, it failed to work well as a desktop on my system.

Especially disappointing was the lack of compatibility with my system, particularly the inability to resume from suspend to RAM. (Just for the record: OpenBSD* excels in this area!), last time I ve used it the sound was like sh*t... 

The software was in a similarly disappointing state, some packages frequent crashed (even obconf crashed, FFS). Interestingly, during the installation of various ports, I noticed that many of them lacked maintainers, so one day they may be removed. Oh well...  still a nice OS for servers.

 

* OpenBSD is really a champ.. >> VA-API (Video Acceleration API) imported into xenocara  , I am sure the day they implement gfx on vmm I will screw the linux partition once for all! (still need some apps that work with USB devices like oscilloscope..)
