A Week with PC-BSD, Days 1, 2, & 3
PC-BSD 1.3 was released last week, which is perfect timing: I have often wanted to try BSD, but frankly, the install is pretty straight forward, but the configuration is somewhat arcane to me.
I hate to lose all my credibility in my first post, but FreeBSD makes a great console OS, since I have never gotten Xfree to configure properly on any desktop or laptop I have owned. I would spend a few hours researching the problem, then think "Linux is easier" and wipe the drive.
That said, the allure of BSD remains: fast, modern, capable of running on just about anything from toasters to mainframes, and less fragmented than Linux. What's not to love?
Projects like DesktopBSD and PC-BSD are perfect for the likes of me: someone that wants to get a BSD desktop running, but doesn't want to spend alot of time doing it.
