"Overall - DesktopBSD is a pleasure to run and a breeze to install. It is an excellent choice for a new BSD user, a not terribly sophisticated computer user, or an old salt who just wants a good, solid, reliable desktop that won't take days to install and weeks to configure and just wants to get on with it."

Hardware support is less wide with Linux than Windows....
Normally I drop an e-mail to the HW manufacturer putting pressure that I need drivers or specs. In some cases it works.
NVidia for instance is one who has produced drivers for a variety of systems... kudos to them for that =)
Another hot tip is to buy HW which there are drivers for instead of buying HW and then try to find drivers.
