Which is a better solution for a home user?
Thank you very much for your practical recommendations!

I have had great success using PCBSD on various acers, I eventually
got fed up with it being not quite identical to FreeBSD and I now
have FreeBSD 6.2 on my current acer laptop (a 1680).

I was unable to even boot my Wife's Acer (an Aspire 5520) with FreeBSD
6.3-pre or 7.0-pre. I'm also pretty sure the Acer wireless is NOT
supported by any native drivers; I haven't seen any success or failure
stories from anyone trying NDIS. I expect the same will be true with
PC-BSD, since AFAIK their kernel is pretty much stock FreeBSD (main
differences are in the installer and package management).
