Malaysia has been a blast
So we’ve been promoting BSD here in Malaysia for the entire week. It’s been really fun, the people here are really embracing open source, and it’s been exciting showing them that there are alternatives to linux.
I have to admit, I am exhausted. I think my body has decided that it should be back on USA time and that I’m trying to be awake at 3am or something.
The people here have been friendly, and I am really looking forward to this conference running again next year.
2009 MSC Malaysia Open Source Conference
That’s right, PC-BSD is going to Malaysia!
Matt Olander, CTO of iXsystems will be speaking on how to “survive an economic downturn using PC-BSD and open source software”. The conference will be held at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel & Convention Center in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. The conference website states the following:
Positioned as [an] International forum for sharing and exchanging ideas on technical advancements, applications, development and business cases on open source, and its positive impact in meeting challenges of the current economic climate. (www.mscmalaysia.my)
Sounds like a great conference to showcase the infinite potential of PC-BSD, I can’t wait!
We will be flying out of SFO in about 12 hours, I’ll keep you posted when we land.

Great pix, James! Haha, that’s ironic that ISC, a customer of iX, won the server! PERFECT

I would have to completely disagree with what you say how good PC-BSD is. And for the record, I do not use Linux, I do not have Linux installed on any systems. With the code they develop on top of FreeBSD for PC-BSD has consistency issue, and just don’t think they pay close enough attention to code correctness, I think it gets sluggish. Although my first choice is always to use OpenBSD on everything, I have set up FreeBSD as a desktop system. All I do is select minimal install, populate ports and source, patch the system, compile KDE4 from ports, and I find everything runs better and quicker that way. Once Firefox has been compiled from ports, I have seen it load instantaneously when you select it from KMenu. With PCBSD being developed for people who don’t know any tech stuff, and their own lack of proper auditing of code in the manner of say OpenBSD, I see definite performance issues, and some speed issues. I think it just gets bogged down. So that is why I would definitely disagree with what you say about how good PC-BSD is.
