GET STARTED
LET’S TALK
Introduction to MidnightBSD
Lukas Holt, Caryn Holt
MidnightBSD was founded in 2006 by Lucas Holt.
The project is a FreeBSD 6.0 fork with an emphasis on
creating a desktop focused BSD.
While there are other BSD desktop projects (most notably PC-
BSD and DesktopBSD),
we wanted to create an entire desktop centered BSD from the
BSD that a grandmother could install and use.
Maintenance Systems over BSD
Joseba Mendez
widely used in the Industry that can be supported by BSD apart
of classical IT services.
As clear example of this is SAP Suite. SAP covers all possible
asset management to control the cost related to production
and also maintenance but as per tighted cost in investments
today, the Plants must run 24/7 with maximum reliability and
productivity possible.
HOW TO’S
Low Resource PCs with FreeBSD
Laura Michaels
older PCs. I can’t believe how many used PCs end up as landfill
while students, educators, low income families and others go
without a computer at all.
12
The FreeBSD Ubuntu challenge
Rob Somerville
of running Compiz as a workstation?
One of the many criticisms of Open Source software (indeed
even FreeBSD) is that it is not ready for the desktop.
Making the Unknown Giant Visible and
Known
Joshua Ebarvia
moniker Unknown Giant. I confirm that it is true in my place. I
have asked system administrators, computer enthusiasts, and
hobbyist about FreeBSD and they didn’t even know what I’m
talking about.
18
Network monitoring with Nagios and
OpenBSD (PART 1)
Daniele Mazzocchio
firewalls, domain name servers, a mail gateway and a web
proxy cache. (Read previous issues of BSD Magazine) All the
services provided by these machines are particularly critical and
can’t afford even minimal downtime.
Redundancy may give us the time to recover a failure before
having angry users trying to knock down our door, but it doesn’t
free us from the responsibility to detect and solve ongoing
problems.
Replacing Microsoft Exchange Server
Rashid N. Achilov
Installing set of open-source programs without lack of
functionality Instead of Microsoft Exchange Server. This way
Groupware-part will be replaced on Horde Groupware.
