PC-BSD Day 4: Making a fresh start
The first few days I have been busy with installing and trying to install new software. Maybe I am weird and a software glutton, but I like my install base to be fat. The more software to play with, the better. Fooling around with the PBI’s, the commandline based install via pkg_add and testing out KPorts as a graphical frontend for the ports collection resulted in some mixed results.
Some PBI’s would work fine, others -like Abiword and GIMP- would move a finger untill after I tried to install the same packages via the ports collection. Though those installations failed, they at least provided the necessary dependencies to run the PBI installed versions. Which is weird, because the PBI system is meant to deal with those.
One of the nicer things of running around in the open source world is that there are always people with a friendly attitude that provide some guidance and correction.
