People who have never used Unix type of operating system before and wanted to try out PC BSD distribution might not know where to start. I had created a video to show these folks how to install PC BSD 9 (Unix type of operating system) onto VirtualBox virtual machine. Once people know how to play with PC BSD 9 on a virtual machine, it’s pretty much set that these folks will know how to install and play with PC BSD 9 and future versions of PC BSD on a real machine. PC BSD 9 is the latest version of PC BSD as we speak. Nonetheless, if someone watches this video much later, PC BSD 9 might not be the latest version of PC BSD anymore.
Anyhow, for bonuses, this video also shows Unix beginners to how to use Portsnap to fetch, extract, and update Ports Collection (i.e., installing Linux software onto Unix type of operating system), to use AppCafe to install PC BSD 9 software/packages, to install ClamAV (i.e., antivirus), to install Rkhunter (i.e., rootkit detector), and to configure firewall. I hope whoever has the urge to learn how to use PC BSD might find this video of mine somewhat helpful. Please enjoy if you care! (Don’t forget to watch the video in 1080p/HD, because it’s better that way!)
