Now, my computer running under FreeBSD, it’s cool, I like it very much!

Somedays ago, the old OS (WindowsXP) broken, then I planned to install a new system in my computer.

There are three types of Operation System CD on my desktop: Ubuntu8.0, FreeBSD7.0 and Minix3.

I don’t like Ubuntu, because there are so many fans use it ;) Minix3 is very nice, but its documents are too few to be searched on the web. At last, I decieded to install FreeBSD.

My laptop is Lenovo X60, no cdrom and no follopy. I tried copy ISO to USB stick or USB-cdrom, but they didn’t work. I guess X60’s mother board has some problem in FreeBSD7.

Then, I take off the harddisk and installed it on another computer (IBM ThinkPad R61i), and put the ISO cdrom in R61i’s cdrom, power on and work fine.

After installing the core and X11, put the disc2 and disc3 to install Gnome (I think Gnome is better than KDE).

At last, take off the harddisk from R61i, and put it on X60, power on… Error Message showed, the harddisk can not found. I found the dev list changed from ad1s to ad4s. I openned the “/etc/fstab” file and modified them from ad1sXXX to ad4sXXX.

Restart computer and work fine, cool!

Then re-confirgure the mouse settings, sound-device settings, wireless device settings, all of them works fine under FreeBSD7. Yeah, I think IBM X60 + FreeBSD 7.0 + Gnome is a good choice for me :D
