FreeBSD port to reduce dependency on XFree86

It seems that they are now replacing explicit XFree86-4-libraries to USE_XLIB and so. Is this a step dropping XFree86 and go XOrg? :-)

FreeBSD core's position on Apple's APSL

I don’t like lawyer much, however, we all have to respect law :-) Apple has released some of their code under a license called “APSL”, what’s that? To quote Robert Watson, a FreeBSD core team member, APSL was considered as something like GPL/LGPL, which is acceptable for standard-alone userspace tools, however, should be taken carefully on kernel aspect.

Bigger bin patch accepted by FreeBSD

It seems that FreeBSD community has reviewed and committed one of my bigger patch on sbin/syslogd, which was primarily obtained from OpenBSD. These changes are more or less “sync with OpenBSD”, which will increase security performance of FreeBSD.

MAXUSERS=0意味着什么？

自从01年dillon commit之后一直就用着MAXUSERS 0。今天alu提到说MAXUSERS不合适的时候有可能会造成系统负荷能力下降，于是看了代码，发现MAXUSERS是根据内存大小算出来的，32-512之间。另外，实践证明MAXUSERS看来不能设置为2048(起不来)……

关于blog的一些想法

看过车东的一些文章，感觉很受启发。这篇提到了关于知识管理的一些想法，我自己以前也想过一些这方面的问题，但是一直没有时间来整理出来，在这里暂且先记下来吧。

狼和羊的故事—一笑而已

ldconfig@FreeBSDChina

话说有那么一座山，山青水秀，丰庶富饶，半山处最好的地方生活着一群羊，羊们守着天赐的足水足食，过得很舒服，以为自已就是这山上唯一的统治者。直到有一天忽然冲下来一群狼，羊们在损失惨重后才意识到山项是狼的世界，没有什么比狼对羊的威胁更大了，羊们的日子开始悲惨起来。

在别人那里看到的一段话，感觉很有教育意义

Winners never quit, but quiters never win.

　　赢政从轿中望去，四外人头攒动，有如瀚海。只有兵勇们开出的通道，宛若苦海中的生路。三十多年来，赢政无数次被这样的海洋包围，又一次次从这样的生路走脱，他早就渴望生出些变化。可惜举目一望，又是一如既往。

　　正在这时，一个女人冲出人海，迎头站在了轿前。“赢政，你这个害民贼！”
