    Where Can I Find Free Unix/Linux Software?

    Preferably opensource...

    http://freshmeat.net
    http://sourceforge.com

    any other good ones?

    I've been having a lot of fun building FreeBSD and Redhat servers from all my old computers...

    Not into games, just apps and ideas for my own server projects...

    Thanks!

              This is what I use:

              Linux :
              http://www.freshmeat.net
              http://www.sourceforge.net
              http://www.linuxfromscratch.org
              Build your own linux from scratch.

              The only problem with these sites is that they give you precompilled packages only for x86 CPUs, and usually you need to hack some sources to make them work on other architectures. on PPC (G3, G4) all compiles ok, but on PA RISC you will need to hack some sources or they will never work.

              HP-UX
              http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/
              Download and install GCC and then build from sources. Probably you will get problems to find precompilled GNU packages for the latest HP-UX versions, so install ignite, then find a precompilled GCC or compile it yourself (read the manuals about how to do that on HP-UX or it will not compile) and start compilling from sources.

              Solaris:
              Install the GNU ports that come with the gnome and you can start compilling any GNU source. usually you do not need to make changes in the code.

              BSD:
              Sorry, I do not use BSD, it's too slow and obsolete.

              Hope this helps you

                  That says how much of a clue you have.

                          *cough*bullshit*cough*

                          For FreeBSD, check out http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html

                          example: to install wget (nifty HTTP and FTP downloading tool):
                          su to root
                          cd /usr/ports/ftp/wget
                          make install clean

                          thats it. For any other application in ports, substitute the appropriate port directory.

                          Note that a bug has recently been found in OpenSSH, so you should cvsup your source and recompile sometime soon. (same bug will probably also affect your linux boxes)

                          Check the FreeBSD handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ook/index.html - section 4 for ports related stuff, sections 9, 21.3 and 21.4 for details on how to update your sources via cvsup and recompile.

                          If you need more help, I might get a 900 number

                              If you want to use the FreeBSD box for web development and testing, install:

                              /usr/ports/www/apache13
                              /usr/ports/www/mod_php4

                              If you like mySQL, /usr/ports/databases/mysql(version)-server ; or if you prefer PostgreSQL /usr/ports/databases/postgresql72

                                              I also wanted to know what is wrong with BSD?

                                              I am studying Red Hat because it is most widely used for Internet server applications... also have been told by numerous people that FreeBSD is the best and I'm learning that too...

                                                  From a performance, security and stabilty standpoint redhat is at the end of the stick along side german sheizer flicks (its the windows of *NIX oses. Whereas FreeBSD is the OS with the highest network throughput capacity... "The Power To Serve". OpenBSD Is awesome for IDSes / firewalls etc... and BSDi is just a monolithic piece of shit that was dope back in the day!
