FreeBSD Now Has Initial Graphics Support For Bhyve
Bhyve, the hypervisor developed by FreeBSD that supports running
BSD/Linux/Windows guests, has initial graphics support...
Most Free/Open Source Software users run Linux as their operating
system of choice, choosing one (or more) of the 300 or so distros
currently active on DistroWatch. Not as many have crossed the street,
rhetorically speaking, and taken a look at the other Open Source
operating system, BSD and its many variants.
As a long time and current Linux user new to PC-BSD — essentially the BSD equivalent to Linux Mint — my intention is to:
· Outline the (many) similarities and (few) differences between Linux and BSD,
· Walk the audience through the process of moving from Linux to BSD, unless the audience is in a hurry, then I’ll run them through it,
· Describe the ease-of-use and pitfalls of day-to-day use of PC-BSD for the average user, and
· How to pitch in and make code and other contributions (e.g., documentation, translation) to BSD variants, even while doing the same for Linux distributions,
· And more!

Progress on the armv7 platform continues, and Jonathan Gray writes in to the arm@ mailing list with some promising news:
OpenBSD ARMv7 now has a bootloader
There is now a bootloader for armv7 thanks to kettenis@ Recent armv7 snapshots will configure disks to use efiboot and install device tree dtb files on a fat partition at the start of the disk. u-boot kernel images are no longer part of the release but can still be built for the time being. We are going to start assuming the kernel has been loaded with a dtb file to describe the hardware sometime soon. Those doing new installs can ignore the details but here they are.
