Installing FreeBSD 6.1 & Deploying a FreeBSD 6.1 Server
FreeBSD Installation
As you can see, the first portion of the guide has many screen shots, which I hope will help you to get thru installation successfully. FreeBSD installation is actually quite simple, and after you have done it a few times, it will be second nature. For this installation, you will only need CD1. Insert the CD, and boot your system.
First up, is Country Selection. Select your country and hit enter.
On the Main Menu, we will use the standard installation.
Installing FreeBSD 6.1
Scope of This Document
I will assume that if you are reading this, that you have completed the installation steps described in the previous document Installing FreeBSD 6.1. This document will show the steps to take to deploy a FreeBSD server. This server will have the latest stable from the Apache 2.0 tree, PHP 5, MySQL 5.0, Sendmail with SMTP-AUTH, Webmail, Bind DNS, SNMP, synchronized local time, and Webmin. I have also included steps to take to build a network graphing solution with Rrdtool/cacti, and this part can be considered optional.
Setup Useful Daemons
We are going to install webmin with ssl, ntpd for time syncronization, and net-snmp. When you configure webmin, be sure to choose 'yes' when asked if you want to use ssl. When configuring net-snmp, make sure you specify snmp-v1 and snmp-v2 community strings that only you know, its just good practice (portupgrade, webmin, and net-snmp can all be safely installed using the 'pkg_add -r' method as well, if you want to save some time).

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
