little Help

[Eldes]

Hello users, my name's Eldes.

Ok i got an ask or little problem.

Right now i'm using WinXP (2 partitions NTFS) and Pardus Linux (1 EXT4)

I will remove Pardus then PC-BSD 9 Release, but i need help to compile soft.

I know is through port system, is easy to learn?. The filesystem who use PC-BSD is similar to EXT4?

Here in Pardus, i compile by my own.


P.S: I will put a banner of PC-BSD free and for life in my website.

Thanks,
I hope don't interrump & stand my english well.

Cheers from Argentina

The file system used by PC-BSD is similar to PArdus's ext4 file system. They have a similar layout and permissions.

Ports is a fairly easy to learn system. If you compile software already, ports is easy to learn and usually less work than compiling manually. You also have the option of using PC-BSD's software centre, which is point-and-click and does not require compiling.

The standard filesystem used in PC-BSD is UFS and for most users it is the right choice. Apart from UFS there is ZFS which is also available in PC-BSD. It has some nice features like easy to use snapshots and other goodies. But it usually needs a lot of resources unless you tweak its settings for your system. ZFS is not only a filesystem but also a volume manager and you will have the best performance on servers with several harddrives.
