"think outside the box" |
Thinking outside the box, this
means working outside the limits. FreeBSD Unix computer
systems, such as FreeBSD and his
variants (PC-BSD, GhostBSD,
FreeNAS, ...) do this for you. Illumos
and OpenIndiana is based on Solaris-Unix is one another
variant. Included is also the applications to build a
world of functionality, to benefit of our work and
interests. This applications also open a new
horizon the users of Microsoft Windows.

What is Unix Marcelo? |
The Unix Marcelo project is a form of
knowledge & technology transfer for open- , free-
and low cost computer systems. This including operating
systems, applications
and information over hardware. Computer systems based
on Unix are
the favorites. |

06/2015 | SmallWall the new m0n0wall |
A long
time ago, a very smart guy asked a very simple question.
"Why do firewalls have to be big, slow, and hard to
configure?" And he created m0n0wall. "m0n0wall was a project aimed at creating a complete, embedded firewall software package that, when used together with an embedded PC, provided all the important features of commercial firewall boxes (including ease of use) at a fraction of the price (free software)." At this, it was amazingly successful. So successful that the FreeBSD based core was used as a basis for several other projects such as pfSense, Askozia, FreeNAS, and nas4free. Recently, a grandchild of m0n0wall was spawned from pfSense, OPNSense. But, m0n0wall has retired now, and some of us still feel the need for a small and lean firewall. SmallWall is that firewall. |
02/2015 | End of the m0n0wall project |
After 12
years, the m0n0wall project has officially ended. No
development will be done anymore, and there will be no
further releases. Alternative and similar products are (all based on FreeBSD): |
02/2015 | VirtualPF the firewall for the
virtual world |
This is a
flexible and innovative firewall for the virtual world,
with multiple enterprise features including load balancing
and packet inspection and easy to use GUI. Built using
the latest version of FreeBSD with hypervisor support.
VirtualPF is a fork of pfSense for the virtual machine. |
09/2014 | New & own CD with PC-BSD Server
TrueOS |
With the new version of PC-BSD
10.0.3 (1003) comes one own distribution CD of the
PC-BSD server TrueOS. This have only text oriented
installation and applications, but have the PC-BSD tools
included (PBI packages, Jails with Warden).
download: http://www.pcbsd.org/en/download.html |
09/2014 | pkg (new-pkg) is now the only
package management tool on FreeBSD and FreeBSD based
systems |
The ports
tree has been modified to only support pkg(8) as package
management system for all supported version of FreeBSD.
if you were still using pkg_install (pkg_* tools) you
will have to upgrade your system.
The simplest way is cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg make install then run pkg2ng You will have lots of warning, don’t be scared, they are expected, pkg_* databases used to get easily mangled. pkg2ng is most of the time able to deal with it. A tag has been applied to the ports tree if you need to get the latest ports tree before the EOL of pkg_install: https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports
/tags/PKG_INSTALL_EOL
A branch has been created if some committers want to provides updates on the for pkg_install users: https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/branches/pkg_install
Please note that this branch is not officially maintained and that we strongly recommend that you do migrate to pkg. |
09/2014 | New modern FreeBSD's Linux
compatibility |
One especially useful feature of
FreeBSD is the operating system's ability to support
native Linux executable files by way of a compatibility
layer. An effort has been made to upgrade FreeBSD's
compatibility layer to include a more modern Linux
distribution. The choice was made to use CentOS as the
new base for native Linux software. CentOS features long
term support making it a more stable, based on RedHat,
with an excelente suport for comercial Linux software.
The Linux
emulation port is called linux-c6 and can be found in the
FreeBSD ports collection.
port and packages information: by freshports for linux-c6 more information: linux-c6 megaport |
09/2014 | Updating with Package Manager on
FreeBSD/PC-BSD (TrueOS) |
Due to some changes with
how pkgng works, it is recommended that all users update
via the command-line using the following steps:
# pkg update –f # pkg upgrade pkg # pkg update –f # pkg upgrade # pc-extractoverlay ports : only on PC-BSD and TrueOS # reboot PKGNG may need to re-install many of your packages to fix an issue with shared library version detection. If you run into issues doing this, or have conflicts, please open a bug report with the output of the above commands. If you run into shared library issues running programs after upgrading, you may need to do a full-upgrade with the following: # pkg upgrade –f |
08/2014 | Free Microsoft Windows Evaluation
Software |
If you need a Windows VM for
occasional compatibility testing, especially for a
project that will only last for a few months, this is
an excellent option. You can download free 90-day
evaluation versions of Windows desktop from
Microsoft's TechNet
Evaluation Center.
The latest version of Windows Server is available from the MSDN Evaluation Center and is good for 180 days. All of these evaluation versions are full-featured, with no limitations during the evaluation period. In combination with VirtualBox you have a excellent combination without sacrifice hardware. |
08/2014 | New release of FreeBSD
Package-Manger PKG 1.3.0 |
We are very
please to announce the release of pkg 1.3.0. This
version is the result of almost 9 month of hard
work. So much has happened that
it is hard to summarize so we try to highlight the
major points:

04/2014 | IMUNES
advanced network simulator |
General purpose IP network
emulation/simulation architecture for real-time
large scale experiments. The technology use the
FreeBSD kernel-level network stack real
virtualization technology. IMUNES have a GUI:
management plane, automates virtual node and link
instantiation and configuration. Lightweight and
portable experiments that can be easily
instantiated. IMUNES is a replacement for testbeds
and realistic laboratory environments.

09/2013 | Fundation
of the "OpenZFS" working group |
Sistema de archivos ZFS es el más
avanzado del mundo en desarrollo activo desde hace más
de una década. El reciente desarrollo ha seguido a la
intemperie, y OpenZFS es el nuevo nombre oficial para
esta comunidad abierta de desarrolladores, usuarios y
empresas mejora, utilizando y aprovechando las ZFS.
Fundada por los miembros de la Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X,
y las comunidades Illumos, incluyendo Matt Ahrens, uno
de los dos autores originales de ZFS, la comunidad
OpenZFS reúne más de un centenar de desarrolladores de
software de estas plataformas.
