Quirks of NetBSD

Exactly two months ago I reported installing FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Debian on my laptop for test purposes. Yesterday I tried to upgrade a different box from FreeBSD 5.1 RELEASE to FreeBSD 5.1 CURRENT. I've had no luck getting my SMC 2632W or 2602W wireless NICs, or an Orinoco Gold wireless NIC, to work in any modern version of FreeBSD. (I had cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 2632W working with FreeBSD 4.5 and earlier using this hack.) I thought trying CURRENT might be a good idea but cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 install failed. Wireless support is my biggest grievance with FreeBSD. I used a wireless NIC on OpenBSD 3.3 fine yesterday.

So, I decided to replace cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 failed FreeBSD install with NetBSD 1.6.1. I got cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 OS installed but found it to be quirky. It works fine, but it's got its own peculiarities that separates it from FreeBSD. For example, I installed "everything," but OpenSSH was not installed by default. In fact, nothing was listening by default. What is this, OpenBSD? Not even OpenBSD is so draconian. The install process also doesn't give an easy way to configure networking. I added cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 appropriate entries to /etc/rc.conf because it uses cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 same format I know from FreeBSD.

Thanks to cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 official documentation, I was able to get going. If it weren't for Google, I wouldn't know I have to use CTRL-ALT-F4 to switch to terminal 4, racá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r than ALT-4 like most UNIX OS'. I also found cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 NetBSD package system installs software into places like /usr/pkg/bin/ racá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r than /usr/local/bin. NetBSD looks to be picky about licenses too. Here's what I saw when trying to install OpenSSH from /usr/pkgsrc/security/openssh:

===> openssl-0.9.6l has unacceptable license: fee-based-commercial-use.

===>     To build this package, add this line to your /etc/mk.conf:

===>     ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=fee-based-commercial-use

I made cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 change and OpenSSH installed fine. I had trouble figuring out why cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/sshd script wouldn't work properly, so I ended up enabling sshd via a 'sshd="YES"' line rc.conf. I cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365n removed cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 unneeded OpenSSH, OpenSSL, and Perl packages. I was sad to see though that my wireless NIC still didn't work. In any case, every BSD is a little different, so that's why I'm trying NetBSD.
