Some more packages in vanilla distro I'd like...

Post by vaisarger »

Hi!

I finally was able to install GhostBSD (on entire disk only, single partition install I wasn't able).

I list some package a vanilla installation I'd like:

-all Nvidia proprietary drivers (to have your desktop system -if using Nvidia cards- visually perfect)
-xrandr (to manage monitor res and freq)
-cups smb backend (cups-smb-backend, foomatic, hpijs, samba and so forth, to print through Samba shares)
-gsed (for GNU sed old users)
-xterm (to have a legacy terminal)
-more Mate screensavers or Xscreensaver
-a way to have ports tree easily installed
-a way to have boot splash screen easily turned on

I like very much GhostBSD... really! ;)

Thank you! :)

About boot splash screen, if you think could be useful, you could consider a script I wrote for FreeBSD,
to use whichever image with whichever resolution as splash screen (and possibly using a text on it)

(it depends on Image Magick package).
