What am I downloading? You are downloading 4.6 million users' phone number information, along with their usernames. People tend to use the same username around the web so you can use this information to find phone number information associated with Facebook and Twitter accounts, or simply to...

My first touch with BSD was a shell account on FreeBSD 4.2. 13 years later (ouch I am old) FreeBSD shines on version 9.2. If you have a dev box (KVM) which is idling take it and install FeeBSD on it. It is Unix but it does not bite if you know how to handle everything. If your start your KVM...
