Got bored tonight so I decided to try installing FreeBSD 8.2 UNIX on my MacBook via Parallels. So far, I got as far as to install the OS, X11 (xWindows) and installing GNOME from Packages. I know, I know. I do usually install everything using ports but since it takes forever for GNOME to install via ports I figure I'd try this first. You know, if all else fails, I can always reinstall via ports.
I've been experimenting with this stuff these past couple days, building a BSD workstation on an old PC in the office. I was wondering how GNOME on a BSD system would run on a laptop and this is the only laptop I got. So far so good. My experience with FreeBSD has been completely server-end. It's been years since I've build a workstation using BSD and never on a system powerful enough not to lag.

On the Cover of Unix Review "The Dream Begins" painting by Andrew Kong Knight.
"The Dream Begins" artwork was originally commissioned in 1990 by Western Association for Equipment Lessors (WAEL) for their bi-monthly WAEL Magazine cover story and spread. The WAEL association got a great response from their members about the artwork, they purchased additional rights to feature the painting in other advertisements and report covers, such as this one. Although the painting was created in color, it first appeared in a black and white publication.
In 1991, Unix Review purchased rights for their own magazine cover and story spread, in full color for it's second appearance. As seen here.
"From the corporate world, back to the back streets, in 1996 Kong Knight's painting eventually wound up where his heart truly lies by giving the rights to the painting for the cause of peace, truth and justice for the fifth anniversary issue of a SF Bay Area political analysis and left dialog favorite, CrossRoads Magazine."
- Arnoldo Garcia, Editor, Writer, Poet for CrossRoads Magazine
"...Andrew Kong Knight's painting above illustrates everyone's questions about where we are headed. But ever the optimists, we like the spririt of his title, "The Dream Begins."
- Max Elbaum, Publisher, Editor of CrossRoads Magazine, Editors Note to the Editors of CrossRoads Magazine 5th Anniversary Issue by the Institute for Social and Economic Studies

I never knew that solaris was sunglasses, I always thought it was an computer operating system from Sun Microsystem
Dennis Ritchie invented the "C" computer language and with Ken Thompson pictured on the right above, invented the UNIX operating system. I am writing this on a iMac computer that is based on a UNIX operating system.

The UNIX Shell, still used today, is an example of a command line interface.
