  1. Final Project

  2. Installing FreeBSD • Installation much like that of Linux • Graphical step-by-step interface • FreeBSD expects its own extended partition • Installation procedure more intuitive and robust than Linux • Provides comprehensive configuration menu • Allows user to specify exact hardware University of Maryland Baltimore County UMBC Computer Science 691 Final Presentation

  3. Comparing FreeBSD to Linux • Linux comes installed with much more software • FreeBSD boot process much easier to understand and maintain • Command syntax varies University of Maryland Baltimore County UMBC Computer Science 691 Final Presentation

  4. FreeBSD and Linux Differences University of Maryland Baltimore County UMBC Computer Science 691 Final Presentation FreeBSD is a direct descendant of the original UNIX, it now contains no residual AT&T code. FreeBSD is a complete operating system maintained by a central group of developers. There is only one distribution. FreeBSD aims to be a stable production environment. FreeBSD is easier to install. FreeBSD is still relatively unknown, since its distribution was restricted for a long time due to the AT&T lawsuits. Not much commercial software is available for FreeBSD. Linux is a clone and never contained an AT&T code Linux is a kernel, personally maintained by Linux Torvalds. The non kernel programs supplied with Linux are part of a distribution. Linux is a “bleeding edge” environment. Ease of install depends on the distribution. Linux had no lawsuits to contend with so it was the only free UNIX for awhile Linux has more commercial software available for it.

  5. FreeBSD and Linux Differences University of Maryland Baltimore County UMBC Computer Science 691 Final Presentation Because of a smaller user base, FreeBSD is likely to have less drivers for brand new hardware. FreeBSD runs Linux binaries. It is easy to port Linux drivers to FreeBSD. FreeBSD aims to be a stable production environment. Just about all new hardware will have a driver for Linux. Usually within a month. Linux doesn’t run FreeBSD binaries nor does it need to. Linux is a “bleeding edge” environment.

  6. Configuring Doom for network play University of Maryland Baltimore County UMBC Computer Science 691 Final Presentation • Install doom • Wad File • X executable • Issue net doom command • xdoom -net <number> <hostnames> • xdoom -net 1 bulldog panda • xdoom -net 2 panda bulldog • Miscellaneous • Don’t allow doom to start sound server if sound not configured • Configure window manager if necessary
