Why Is Free, Open Source Software So Great?
,----[ Quote ]
| All what Iâm going to write here, is likely
| to be considered happening in a world that,
| even not perfect, is a bit better of the
| real world we all live in together; a world
| where software patents donât exist, as they
| bring out the worst part of legal troubles,
| and heavily step into the Freedom given by
| Free Software.

FOSS: The Consideration Bridge
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in the days when the FSF was finding
| itâs feet Richard and others began this
| amazing process of taking functional
| proprietary tools and recreating these
| tools as free software, drop-in
| replacements. This process of âdoing all
| the boring bitsâ really set the technical
| foundations and I think is why a lot of
| people were really amazed by the principled
| dedication and out of this grew respect.
|
| [...]
|
| The open source movement grew out of the
| lack of compromise in the Free Software
| community, but itâs grown further from
| being just about inviting businesses into a
| friendly arena and into a more pragmaticsâ
| hiding hole, there are no difficult
| questions to answer, and free as in beer
| software is how itâs all advertised with no
| further explanation about how it became
| free in the first place.

Dru Lavigne's 'The Definitive Guide to PC-BSD' is helping me update my packages and ports
,----[ Quote ]
| The FreeBSD Handbook appeared cryptic on how
| exactly to update packages and ports. I'm sure
| the answer is in there, but I just couldn't
| find it.
|
| However, I do have Dru Lavigne's new book,
| "The Definitive Guide to PC-BSD," and I'm
| following her instructions on pages 247-251 on
| how to use csup and portupgrade to update both
| packages and ports on my FreeBSD 7.3-release
| installation.
