FreesBIE and DesktopBSD are loooong dead.... Why don't we add a link to PC-BSD and maybe GhostBSD (though I read at [1] that it needs to be polished more to be a user-friendly distro) to the "LATEST RELEASES" section on freebsd.org? That way we could promote FreeBSD on the desktop, have more people try and run PC-BSD and keep simple "how do I set up a desktop?" questions from freebsd-questions@ [1] http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/02/02/ghostbsd-2-5-review/
