FreeBSD: Installation & First Look

thanks❤ this guide worked for me today
thanks a lot......♥

unix system is a complete system made in one company for money on a paid license for working people capitalists want to sell unix system freebsd to private users but new versions of unix system freebsd are security holes like Swiss cheese spy on users telemetry artificial intelligence virtualization to retro computers don't need spying telemetry artificial intelligence virtualization

One does not install FreeBSD without a make install clean of robotfindskitten, fortune, figlet and cowsay. Ncurses based mp3blaster used to be mandatory for some reason.

Been big on FreeBSD for many years. umm. 5.1 - RELEASE, to be exact. I once had some elitist condescendingly snarky mock me "Why would YOU ever need FREEBSD?! What do you DO with it?! And the guy I was fixing to buy a server from in his shop laughed WITH the kid. I said "I'm a long time FreeBSD kernel dev team member." They both shut down. I bought my servers elsewhere. That business was put out of business by me competing against them and buying out their stock and talent. That kid was a careless sysadmin, it turns out...I was hired by his boss as a troublesohoter consultant to find "bottlenecks" - as they were bleeding customers. The kid had ran their entire business on a 32 bit WINDOWS server 2000 / virtuoso platform. They were burning up hard drives from disk swap space usage. The kid thought RAID 0 was the solution. I was allowed to point him to BURGER KING as a possible employer more befitting his skill set. Living in the land of FreeBSD CLI on a lightweight window manager as your daily workstation will prepare you to become a cave-dwelling greybeard guru in no time.

Naic video

Is there a BSD desktop environment or does it all just recompile Linux ones?

Can show one video about How to set-up qemu and then freebsd, I tried qemu but it's not installing properly

Thanks so much

Beatifull wallpaper, where can I download it?

OMG!!!!

Bro ....your terminal font size needs to be bigger for demo purposes.

Pretty funny I got a nintendo switch add on this video

Everything about this is is why these OS wont be useful for 99% of the population. The installer looks like something from the 1990s and the OS looks like something from the early 2000s. I cant see any windows or mac users moving to this given the experience or pain you have to go through.

what is the command to save in the terminal and exit
??

Thanks for the useful video. How do you remember the names of the packages to install such as xorg (and not Xorg or xorg-something). I always get stuck at the pkg part of freebsd. I don' t really get their pkg system, ports, searching for package names, etc. I can always follow a guide such as yours and get it installed but that is not as satisfying. But then again, I have never invested enough time to learn about their ports system. Apparently it is said to be similar to arch's but I don't really get the similarity in usage. Their rc system is simple and something I really like.... reminds me of my Slackware days.

When Ermanno hits the enter key he doesn't mess around!

sabes más q los ratones colorados, maestro ......

You are amazing thank you for outstanding video!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

You want to take away bragging rights from Arch Linux guys

FreeBSD is great for servers whereas Linux is great for desktop. I have tried FreeBSD and like it.

謝謝你的視頻, I hope your next video, thx.

amazing video, subbed!

WAAAAAAAY too much work to try and install a simple OS.

Why is it using things that made for GNU/Linux Like sudo commands or KDE Plasma ?

Are freebsd hardware suport are good ?

First Off, thank you for the great videos. I enjoy your channel. I Have a question, what is the make and model of your Nice monitor??

Thanks alot!!! TYSM

Man. That UI is properly beautiful.

I'd argue on the main difference being a fully OS. While that is true, to me, the biggest difference is (as you were mentioning BSD is not another Linux Distri) that BSD has a different Kernel which is fully POSIX compatible. (bought all in all just a minor detail :)) keep on going, Ermanno!

excellent intro - thank you

ty, how many ressources memory are use ? htop exemple pls.
ty

Looking forward for Alpine linux installation tutorial.

Great video. Very clear and straight-forward walkthrough to install. Thank you, Ermanno.

Thank you

Help at the visudo file. I don't know how to use that text editor. Can you help me?

I have the same wallpaper lol

so FreeBSD OS = bloated 🙄

Does freebsd supporting Nvidia Graphic Cards?

I've never used BSD, the most OS, other then Windows I used Linux Mint. If FreeBSD is a own OS, then there are no Viruses available for, right? Can you tell us more about the Memory requirements?

Amazing video
Could you please make one explaining to us on detail all these System Hardening Options and why and how use them (or not)? Thanks in advance

Just found out your channel. Excellent job Ermanno. Ciao

Is it compatible with macOS?

New to BSD. As I love learning Linux and all that, this video will be helpful because now I will have to figure out why it didn't work. As in, which of the lightning fast instructions or microscopic command line characters I missed. haha.
Oh well. If it were easy, it would be on Windows and be absolutely boooorriiiiinnnng

What Is The VM You Using

Can all Linux programs be installed?

I was able to install freeBSD and get it working because of this video. This is my first foray into the world of BSD.

Woah, installing Xfce on freeBSD is so much easier than KDE. Why?
