by I finally succeeded in getting FreeBSD on
some hardware that was giving me fits (I finally removed a HD from the
picture). I installed some various things that are nice, Emacs
being one of them, along with bash. Bash helped some issues I had with
some keys not behaving the way I expected them to, most notably the
up arrow. I still find some key binding issues that I'm not sure how
to resolve.
The Meta key on emacs, for example, is one of them. I *can* use
Esc in replace of this, but I'm used to the Alt key.
I have the same .emacs file that I used on a Linux box in the
past. I don't *think* it's an Emacs thing, but I'm not sure.
One other thing: I had the console logged into for a while, and I
went to actually do something on the console (remote ssh was
still working) and I could not. Nothing I did was giving me a
response. Pretty weird. Is there something I could look for the next
time this happens? It hasn't happened since, at least not yet.
BTW, so far, I want to say: nice system! I should have switched a long
time ago...it's going to take a while to make the migration, tho....as
well as get used to things being in different places, etc. I really need
some good dead-trees documentation. Anyone care to recommend their fave?
