PC-BSD is a new FreeBSD 5.3 distribution, with a graphical installer and KDE 3.4 as its desktop. A new beta version was just released, and though I can't say I have much experience with FreeBSD, or any *BSD for that matter, I was curious enough to try it. And I'm glad I did. From a desktop user's point of view, completely oblivious to the many virtues and sound foundation of all things BSD, all I really ever wanted was an OS that is solid, easy to install and, well ... fun to work with.
And that they fix the installer... I love this initiative though and have it already installed. I think it both looks good and feels simple enough. Haven't really had time to deepdive through it yet, but from my point of view, now I don't have to bother about Linux anymore.
Good job guys.
