Computer Cleanliness

Name: Anonymous 2008-08-22 21:44

I installed a new operating system, FreeBSD, on my desktop recently. I think I have some sort of OCD or something because after I installed it, I just sat in the terminal after logging in for the first time after the initial install. I didn't want to mess up the filesystem or change it from its default in any way. That makes me feel dirty. So, there I sat, typing random commands such as ps, top, who, ls.

I finally worked up the courage to type startx. But it didn't properly detect my mouse! Ugh. I would have to create a xorg.conf file. This would pollute the filesystem!

Then, when I came to the realization that I couldn't do much without a web browser installed, I tried to install Firefox 3. I tried to do the normal pkg_add -r firefox to install it. It didn't work. It wasn't in the 7.0-RELEASE package repository, only the 7.0-STABLE repository. I would have to set an environment variable in my .tcshrc. Ugh! Ugh!

Does anyone else have similar experiences?

How's this related to /prog? Or is it just your way to say 'I've installed FreeBSD'?

I just let the package manager track the object dependencies and keep /home on a separate partition. It's trivial to reverse software installations and return to a nice clean system when the package management system is adequate.

If you answered "Yes" to all of the above questions, then GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) might be exactly what you've been looking for!
