FreeBSD – the unknown Giant

FreeBSD is a free, open-source and UNIX-like operating system. Though relatively unknown, it’s a performing and powerful work-horse, capable of coping with massive work-loads whilest remaining fast, ultra-stable and rock-solid. Blogging about FreeBSD and operating systems based on this versatile, safe and secure OS, I want to generate more interest in FreeBSD and its dependants. If you need a reliable, rock-solid and performing system for either your desktop or servers, consider FreeBSD!

PC-BSD with XFCE window manager

May 16, 2009 by Gerard   Leave a comment

PC-BSD Software has now made an XFCE PBI available. PC-BSD comes with KDE4 pre-installed, but if you prefer a lightweight window manager, this one is for you.

The Gnome window manager PBI can be downloaded here.

Another interesting PBI is the Thin Client Server. This PBI installs dhcpd and configures PC-BSD as a Thin Client Server. Clients connected to the servers NIC, will be able to network boot via DHCPD & PXE, and then be brought to a KDM login screen. For more details about this PBI, please read through our Thin Client Wiki
