FreeBSD stability

Recently I just configured our office PC which is Pentium III with 667Mhz speed. Can it be install with Windows XP or Windows 7 maybe ? :)

I installed with a FreeBSD 7.2 and updated to 7.2-p6 to become one of our greatest firewall (hope so) and running for about :


$ uname -a;uptime;date
FreeBSD firewall.sm.local 7.2-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p6 #2: Tue Jan 26 08:46:49 MYT 2010     root@firewall.sm.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMKERNEL  i386
 2:58AM  up 33 days, 16:26, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
Fri Mar  5 02:58:02 MYT 2010

without any failure and need to be restart. For now the box act as our firewall and also our NAT for about 50 people in our office. Before this we are using Dir-300 which i don't it can perform well and customized with what I need to protect my network.

my future needs is to install Ntop for network monitoring..

FAMPP - Installing MySQL Server

simpler command :) #pkg_add -r mysql51-server from this command it will install mysql server and also mysql client for the server once done we can enable it on boot up by editing rc.conf #ee /etc/rc.conf add this following line mysql_enable="YES" After that we can start the service by this command : #sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql- server.sh start Then we have to configure our root login for mysql which is by default it is blank. By using a password for the root login it will be more safe to outsider :) #mysql -u root #SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('urpasswordhere'); once done try to login using root user #mysql -u root -p Enter password: If that appear then you have successfully configuring your mysql server :)
