Hello,<br><br>I have experience in Linux and BSD, and I gave PC-BSD a try last saturday. What I like about PC-BSD is that it's very easy to install and to use for the "layman".<br><br>But, I have found a "major" flaw:
<br>When I switch to the virtual consoles (Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2, and so on), I can't log on, with any user.<br>After scratching my head, I found out the reason is that I'm typing the password on a US (QWERTY) keyboard. After finally logging in (with some password that has only numbers, no letters) I found out that indeed on the console you're in the US (QWERTY) keymap. And with all the virtual consoles (Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2, and so on..)
<br><br>But I have found the solution :)<br><br>Since I have a FreeBSD 6.2 box handy, I have looked into its /etc/rc.conf. <br><br>The solution is to add, on the PC-BSD machine, in the file /etc/rc.conf<br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">
keymap="be.iso" </span><br><br>One might argue that the "layman" would probably not do Ctrl-Alt-F1 and type commands, and that it will only use the GUI. Well, maybe :)<br><br>Greetings,<br><br>-- <br>
