STFW: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2012-March/239742.html It looks like -STABLE are daily development/ test builds (?): ftp://ftp.allbsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-snapshots/amd64-amd64/ I'm looking for stability. I'll try the 9.0-RELEASE: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ > Base system includes ZFS.

It played with it on Debian Testing (Wheezy), but I believe the shared folder feature filled my root partition and I couldn't locate or remove the blockage. > Samba is in ports. Okay. > I don't recognize or don't remember DQ67SWB3 motherboard model, is it from MSI? Intel: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dq67sw.html I'm not sure what the "B3" suffix means, but it's on the box. A few other questions for the list, please: 1. Does FreeBSD support encrypted disk partitions (slices)? 2. Does the X server in FreeBSD (?) support Intel HD 2000 integrated graphics? David
