DesktopBSD: Following PC-BSD's Footsteps?

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 2nd Aug 2005 17:36 UTC, submitted by anonymous

It seems that PC-BSD has set a trend. "DesktopBSD aims at being a stable and powerful operating system for desktop users. DesktopBSD combines the stability of FreeBSD, the usability and functionality of KDE and the simplicity of specially developed software to provide a system that's easy to use and install." How this new BSD distribution stacks up against PC-BSD remains to be seen.

Please don't tell me that FreeBSD is getting into the distro-hell as Linux...

Please read first, than post. DesktopBSD is not a distro nor will ever be.

very bad attempt at a troll mucker...

it is purely a choice thing, there is no such thing as linux distro-hell, there are clear choices of the TYPE of distro and the contents of the distro, and also different uses for the distro....

not hell in the slightest, but a marvellous way to do computing the way you want to do it.
