Anyone having Freebsd 5.3 (this is the latest Production Release, I presume) CDs available? Or know a shop in Mumbai where I can buy them?
I saw the screenshots of Freesbie on osdir.com... they look AWESOME!! Anybody tried that?
I'm pretty satisfied with Fedora Core 1. But I must find out what makes the Freebsd users go ga-ga about their system's virtues :)
On a related note, I have made a 4.3G primary partition for Freebsd. Is this enough space for a typical home user profile? I'm not into heavy gaming or GBs of music etc... Infact one of the aims of this exercise is also to have a visually appealing but light, fast & fully functional desktop with decent amount of free space. Already using FVWM on my Linux setup, so you might have guessed that I'm the greedy type ;)

I am not sure if they term 5.3 "production ready" yet. It should work quite well for the home user though.

Ports, ports, ports.

I have FreeBSD 5.2.1 right now. I'll start downloading 5.3 also sometime soon :-)

Nothing awesome. If you know how to mod your GNOME desktop then that's it !

FreeBSD does not have many default options set. Because of which you'll have to configure a lot of things in a default installation. Also 5.2.1 could not access my ext3 partitions (it supported only ext2). Hope this has been resolved.

the ports system and consistency.

The bug which prevented freebsd from working with ext3 was fixed in 5.2.1 AFAIK. It was reported with fbsd5.1. The configuration is not that much. If you have used slackware before, it is same or less than slackware.
The right forum for asking BSD - related questions is the mailing list hosted on http://www.bsd-india.org/. Though there is nothing wrong in asking BSD related questions here, you are likely to get answers faster there. Also there is an IRC channel #bsd-india on freenode.net where Indian BSD users hang out.

Yeah but I could not configure Xfce 4.2 (latest one I think) on FC1 due to a million dependency issues :( & then I saw Xfce screenshots... really cool...
