First I installed FreeBSD 7.0 -making slice- and carried out all the necessary steps to make appear the Gnome desktop with all its icons. Either of the two OS may be choosen to booting to. This is implemented first choosen boot manager in FreeBSD then the Fedora while installing offered to set a second OS boot manager in its chain loader. On the remainig two-third Hard drive I installed Fedora6 -Linux from Red Hat. The entire course of Install has been effectuated flawless. Though at the end what happened was to me frustrating. I realized that inside the GUI all the widgets -characters, icons etc -has becaming tiny , textually hard to decipher. At least this happens to the other (Fedora release). Having no particular experiance with any BSD Unix I could'not deem for the time being the normal size of its GUI. Beyond this defficiency none of the crutial configuration setting on FreeBSD 7.0 has been me succeded. All my attempts failed me to configure the periferial devices so as modem-, printer-, sound driver east- european font setting d.i. ISO8859-2 etc. Though I must admit being beginner I have to learn more in this disciplin yet I guess and suspect the number 7.0 new release from FreeBSD may clash with my relative ancillary -P III. hardware. Networthy is yet that I not found any hint to a minimum hardware claim beyond the minimal 400 MHz CPU and 250-500 Mb RAM which is met until now. What arise my suspicion is my Nvidia (18) Geforce4 MX 4000 Vga card.Nevertheless for FreeBSD : Gnome 2.20.1 and X.org server 1.4.0 release date 5.szept 2007 version 11, for Fedora 6: Gnome 2.16.0 Red hat and X.org server 1.1.1-47.fc6 Perhaps its performance in its ingredients has been proven scanty ? What do you think about an attempt to change for a more expensive yet compatible VGA Card in order to have a working GUI ? Any suggestion were highly appreciated.
