Recently the PC-BSD team released their latest stable version (PC-BSD 7) code-named Fibonacci Edition. Some of major changes from the previous version include a newer kernel, an experimental ZFS module, and a KDE 4 for desktop environment. Being a Linux junkie, I thought of this as a perfect opportunity to venture into the BSD arena.

Thanks for the review, well thought out. I've tried earlier versions of PC-BSD like 1.5 and it was pretty good. I tried to load the new version into a virtualbox session but it wouldn't load, just kept rebooting. It could have been that I was using the net install cd image. You've inspired me to download the full cd's or dvd and install it from there.
