" It's a hell to maintain (you can sometimes hear similar things from Linux distros). So if you like it, install it. "

I'm well aware of how difficult it is to maintain... At the same time I've read too many reviews on how well FreeBSD has maintained Gnome and I have to agree with FreeBSD users who prefer it... I'm a FreeBSD user myself as well as a long time Slackware user with Solaris along for the ride. I like all 3 operating systems and they all have much to offer and something to be learned from... and yes... I like it... so I installed it.
