Keeping FreeBSD Applications Up-to-Date in BSD Magazine
The March 2010 BSD Magazine includes an article I wrote titled Keeping FreeBSD Applications Up-to-Date . It’s a sequel to my article in the January 2010 BSD Magazine titled Keeping FreeBSD Up-to-Date: OS Essentials . With these two articles published, they replace the versions I wrote in 2005. I wrote these articles to demonstrate the variety of ways a system administrator can keep the FreeBSD operating system and applications up-to-date, with examples showing commands and effects.

Kris Moore: PC-BSD - Making FreeBSD...AsiaBSDCon 2009 Paper Session. Abstract: FreeBSD has a reputation for its rock-solid reliability, and top-notch performance in the server world, but is noticeably absent when it comes to the vast market of desktop computing. Why is this? FreeBSD offers many, if not almost all of the same open-source packages and software that can be found in the more popular Linux desktop distributions, yet even with the speed and reliability FreeBSD offers, a relative few number of users are deploying it on their desktops. In this presentation we will take a look at some of the reasons why FreeBSD has not been as widely adopted in the desktop market as it has on the server side. Several of the desktop weaknesses of FreeBSD will be shown, along with how we are trying to fix these short-comings through a desktopcentric version of FreeBSD, known as PCBSD. We will also take a look at the package management system employed by all open-source operating systems alike, and some of the pitfalls it brings, which may hinder widespread desktop adoption. Author: Kris Moore is the founder of the PC-BSD project, and currently serves as its lead developer. He is a strong advocate of promoting BSD for desktop systems. Kris has been working on UNIX based-systems for over a decade, in the areas of networking, data recovery, and application development. He and his family currently live in eastern Tennessee.

AFCERT circa 2000...This video shows the United States Air Force Computer Emergency Response Team (AFCERT) in 2000. Kelly AFB, Security Hill, and Air Intelligence Agency appear. The colonel who leads the camera crew into room 215 is James Massaro, then commander of the Air Force Information Warfare Center. The old Web-based interface to the Automated Security Incident Measurement (ASIM) sensor is shown, along with a demo of the "TCP reset" capability to terminate TCP-based sessions. We have a classic quote about a "digital Pearl Harbor" from Winn Schwartau, "the nation's top information security analyst." Hilarious, although Winn nails the attribution and national leadership problems; note also the references to terrorists in this pre-9/11 video. "Stop the technology madness!" Incidentally, if the programs shown were "highly classified," they wouldn't be in this video!

Massive Data Loss Bug in Leopard
[Apple]Leopard’s Finder has a glaring bug in its directory-moving code, leading to horrendous data loss if a destination volume disappears while a move operation is in action. I first came across it when Samba crashed while I was moving a directory from my desktop over to a Samba mount on my FreeBSD server.

Network-Attached Storage With FreeNAS
[Linux/Unix]This tutorial shows how you can set up a network-attached storage server with FreeNAS. FreeNAS is based on the FreeBSD operating system and supports CIFS (samba), FTP, NFS, RSYNC, SSH, local user authentication, and software RAID (0, 1, 5). It comes with a powerful web interface and uses very little space on the hard drive - about 32MB.
