Install FreeBSD, change the CFLAGS (for userland programs) and COPTFLAGS (for the kernel) to what you want, and rebuild the system as documented in the Handbook. > why dosent freebsd support reiser4 isnt this supposed to be the > fastest filesystem (www.namesys.com) for details and benchmarks The internals of Linux and FreeBSD are different, so "support"-ing it is a nontrivial effort. However, a (currently read-only) port to FreeBSD is being worked on: http://www.dumbbell.fr/projects/reiserfs/index.en.html I'm not sure if this project will ever be included into the FreeBSD kernel. This port uses the Namesys's code, which is GPL-ed. Linking this into the FreeBSD would mean (IANAL) putting the kernel under GPL. > what GUI does freeBSD kde or gnome or is it CUI FreeBSD runs the X Window System, like all UNIX systems. You can use whatever window manager / environment you like, including KDE or Gnome.
