   Is there improved support for the BCM 4313 wireless adapter? When I tried FreeBSD 9.2 a couple of weeks ago wireless was a fail. The ndisulator hasn't worked for me yet, and many unix-like systems also have issues with this device. The

   Thanks for the link. Much appreciated. While the "wiggle" gifs don't really leap out at me in the way that other 3D images once did, I do see some sense of depth when viewing the wiggle gifs. I'm assuming it's due t

    My story is somewhat similar to yours, and I also regret not giving FreeBSD a try sooner. I guess hardware has a lot to do with many people's reluctance in using FreeBSD, and in that regard I was lucky that my netbook was compatible ri

    My most recent installation of FreeBSD came with tcsh by default. But since installing whichever shell one prefers is so easy, I don't see any real problems there.

    The origins of xxd seem to be a bit murky, as I've seen others say the same thing about xxd being available only if vim is installed, but I've never seen a Unix system that didn't have vi(m) included. $ man xxd | grep v
