You should be able (and actually do) start X from a user account with "startx", or have the system start a display manager (for graphical login), such as gdm or xdm, where you also log in with your user account. > ...

At least keep _one_ of the installations that works more or less painlessly. Having both a 32 bit and a 64 bit version of the same Linux distribution on the same system looks more or less like nonsense to me. > and must going to public internet caffee > they would i most of the case's not offer possibility access network > with extra notebook=20 Not neccessarily.

In academia, people are quite narrow-minded. At least it was when I was a student (in Germany as well). Most people only know "Windows", some at least have heared of Linux, and almost no one knows about FreeBSD (or UNIX at all). At least the more technical people (sysadmins and technicians) who run the university's IT infrastructure, which heavily (!) uses Linux, know about it. > Author demand -stable software ,all anothers is not my > business.

The data is stored as required per law. The "nothing to hide" mentality is very strong among people, so using a _safe_ operating system (which has to be open source) and a _secure_ browsing channel helps a lot to preserve your privacy. > will speedy as possible going to bsd/solaris ad delete linux=20 If a system is not reliable, unstable, and maybe insecure, it's not a good choice for an OS to run on your system. :-) > will read some publication bsd and solaris ad think -how this task=20 > can > be performed As per the handbook. :-) Really: Installing FreeBSD is super easy as soon as you can boot the installation image from CD, DVD, or USB. In worst case, try TrueOS (formerly PC-BSD), an operating system based upon FreeBSD (it actually _is_ FreeBSD), complete with desktop environment and so on. But it might be "too much" for you if everything you want is just a nice window manager and the few application programs you're intending to use. FreeBSD offers you that kind of choice. > P.S. tor work not with author application programm ,java and=20 > flash blocked=20 That is normal, because they are the _prime_ security risks today. It's not even "Windows" anymore that leads the "top 10 of security hazards", it's typically Java, "Flash", "MS Office", "Adobe Reader", and of course all those virus programs ("anti-virus" they often call themselves). PS. Instead of worwarding, use "reply to all" when replying to a list message. It should then automatically set the To: and Cc: destinations to the person you've replied to, and to the list. If I remember correctly, "reply to all" is preferred on this mailing list, even though "reply to list" would probably be okay, too. The Opera mail client should support both methods. Even my "simple-minded" mail program does this. :-) --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
