This is a newbie contrast of linux vs. freeBSD: There are a few neet-o things linux does (well..at least RH 6.0 distro.) that freeBSD dosent and i simply *can't* live without these features: 1) If you 'ls' under linux, you can configure it to color code directories vs. files vs. executables ect. Not only is it really pretty, it's much easier for me to identify what's what. How can this be done under freebsd? 2) If you press shift+ page up [down] under linux you can scroll up and down the console in case things dont fit on one screen (as they often do not.). I CANT live without this feature, i cant get any work done w/o it. 3) is there gpm (mouse services) for freebsd? I really want to find a way to emulate the previous features under freeBSD. Then and only then will i say good-bye to linux. Any help on these issues? thankx :) ~Joe~ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
