FreeBSD Tips

I got the following error when trying to run any of the pkgtools FreeBSD ports. It came up with pkgdb, portinstall, etc.:
--->  Checking the package registry database

The solution? I found it here.

All you have to do is run
pkgdb -fu
as root. It takes a while, but should work. Enjoy.

I recently put together a spoof on the famous "Hacker's Manifesto." You can find the spoof here. Click for (I think) enjoyable sarcasm.
