I was previously a FreeBSD user and a
Fedora Linux user at school time.
In this March, I tried to install a BSD or Linux on my home computer
again.
Finally, I decided to try PC-BSD, which
is basically a FreeBSD for Desktop user
and aims at easy-of-using.
Like many other OS nowadays, I did not need to burn a DVD/CD for it any
more.
What I‘ve to do is simply to burn the image to a USB disk (in fact, an SD
card for me). If you want to burn the image to USB, win32-image-writer
is an open source tool for this purpose. But unfortunately, Chinese Govenment
has blocked the sourceforge.net! And the w32-image-writer, amang many other open
source softwares, are hosted in sourceforge.net. So, I‘ve to google an
alternative download site for it. Finally I downloaded a version 0.7 and wrote
the image.
Then, just to boot the computer with USB. I installed the PC-BSD on an
independent hard-disk other than that one for Windows. So, I simply selected the
PC-BSD specific hard-disk and selected "use entire disk". I set 4G for SWAP (my
memory is 2G). But now, it seems not necessary. With top, I never saw the SWAP
is used. And I chose MATE as my desktop manager. You may also try LXVM, KDE or
Xfce4, etc.
Besides the above, there seems nothing worthy of mentioning. After the
installation,
- the display, network and even sound are all automatically configured,
ready-for-use.
- The Chinese fonts are also perfect in Chromium or Firefox.
- The partitions in Windows are one-click-mountable.
That‘s quite cool! So, if you want to try FreeBSD but you are not so
confident with FreeBSD, you should try PC-BSD.
