[wplug] What about FreeBSD?

[N. Iglehart]

That's funny about the power supply blowing up during a FreeBSD install.
About a year or so ago I was booting up a FreeBSD box and staring at the
demon in the corner when suddenly a capacitor blew in the monitor and
smoke started pouring out of the sides. What was funny is that the
monitor stayed on while I jerked the cover off to check for fire and all
the while staring at that little demon with his goofy grin.

Coincidence? You decide.

There are some *BSD users - we're prett flexible.  I started a FreeBSD
on my machine at a WPLUG installfest a year or two ago, but
unfortunately
my power supply took that opportunity to blow out (sparks and smoke.
quite
impressive).  I guess the OS was too powerful for the machine :-)

There are some programmers in the group and in the IRC channel.
Plus there may be some resources on IRC available if we don't know
the answer.
