Hi all I've been around since june, but because of my cdrom drive I didn't use freebsd for 2-3 months. Now I got "new" computer (166Mhz/64MB/4.3G+2*0.5G/6x)and I'm back to fbsd - after several weeks of parsing and praying.. I've got dualboot, with Nt 4.0 WS on first partition (1G) and fbsd 2.2.6 on second partition, 3G. It was interesting when I was installing these OS'es - NT didn't see fbsd's boot manager, and boot manager sees NTFS as HPFS . Windows 95 didn't like me at all, it destroyed my harddisk and I had to format it. I was so stupid that I didn't believe that win95 wouldn't install with fbsd AND NT, so I tried it several times - I wanted to have tripleboot but it seems to be very difficult to make it working with two (or more, I tested the good old ms-dos too) m$'s products. I also found out that even win NT isn't very stable, I got dial-up network working fine with it but it doesn't work anymore - and i haven't changed a thing. Well I don't really need it anymore, I got ppp working great from freebsd, and I haven't even booted to winNT for few weeks. But I also had something to ask about: I remember someone asked about StarOffice, and Sue told him/her to try some ports - which those ports/packages were? Any other suggestions for good/powerful/nice/goodlooking/terrible textprocessing utilities are welcome btw, does anyone know any url's to documents that describe programming in UNIX environment? - I don't know how to compile my c program which uses gtk.. and that's a BIG problem.
