     Because the development track i     things are going. The 4.xxxx track get     security fixes, etc now, but not any major new fe     The 4.xxxx track will soon be completely replaced by 5.xxxx.      ////jerry

     Just dump(8) it to a tape or other disk, create a new UFS2 file
     system where the UFS2 now lives and then restore(8) the dump.

     How much is latency in FreeBS     I would like to listen music playing on FreeBSD PC with hi-fi      sound.
     First I need to be sure the system latency is low enough.

     <     a) Where does the music come from? CD, MP3, WAV, MIDI?     b) What kind of machine do you have? If you want to play Audio-CDs,
          can often plug headphones or speakers to the front-panel of a CD-     drive.
     Otherwise you need a sound "card", either on-board or as an ad     d-on-card.
     Also, if you want to list to MP3, your machine has to be f     enough
     (P100 and faster, if I am not mistaken)
     On my mach     with
     256MB RAM a     5.2-RELEASE: playing     performance. The sounds      *really
     heavy* load. But I mean      rebuilding the system has no      my MP3s on
     a second machine and sh     so if I
     put the network und     sometimes.
     But the network o     is
     Athlon 700 / 160 M     100Mbit-Ethernet, so this hap     If your machine is fast enough, and if you     works
     with FreeBSD, you should have no trouble     If you have a soundcard installed, you just need     "device pcm"
     to your kernel-config, recompile th     all
     you need is a program to play musi     you
     can install it via ports, too). <     Back in summer, I had FreeBSD 5.0 installed on a Pentium III 450 w     ith
     256 MB RAM, listening to MP3s was fine, too.
     And both machine     Pentium
     133 with 64MB R     "big
     boys" alongside      I am not quite sure what you mean by latency,     multi-user, multi-tasking operating system, so even     things
     going on at the same time, music-playback works fin     machine is
     fast enough.
