<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Howdy,<br>
<br>
I'm a new dragonflybsd user coming from FreeBSD where I have been
a user for a bit over a decade or decade and a half. I'm not
bailing on them as I still rather enjoy FreeBSD and love ZFS, but
I have a new (old) pc and want to explore new horizons. I am
primarily interested in trying out Hammer2 to see how it works
compared with ZFS (functionality, not performance).<br>
<br>
I've downloaded the USB image, burned it to USB, booted my
Optiplex 755 w/256GB SSD, installed and configured dragonfly,
gotten ssh'ed into the machine and now it looks like a partially
working FreeBSD instance where ZFS is missing :). <br>
<br>
Is there a Getting Started Guide, or Things Beginners Should Do
First, kindof doc out there? The handbook's great, but it's more
along the lines of a reference guide.<br>
<br>
Stuff I'd expect in such a doc:<br>
<br>
When you first login:<br>
Configuring SSH so folks can log in (I just turned on use
password, service restarted, ssh-copy-id'd, turned off use
password, service restarted, but maybe there's a better way)<br>
Take a snapshot of the boot environment/root drive<br>
Do some updates/upgrade<br>
Install some packages<br>
Here are some common packages for starters - bash, vim?<br>
Blow away the snapshot if it's not needed<br>
<br>
I appreciate any pointers and I'm totally looking forward to
learning more about Dragonfly BSD.<br>
<br>
Later,<br>
<br>
Will<br>
