Thank you for explanation :)
So, if GNOME/KDE can be installed on FreeBSD, what are the advantages of
BSD-based desktop systems like DesktopBSD/PC-BSD over FreeBSD?
just the graphical installer?
those projects make FreeBSD easier to install and administer.
I never tried one of them. Friends did but faced later smaller problems.
They all could be solved the FreeBSD way.
So, staying with FreeBSD gives the advantage of working with the real
thing and the disadvantage of handling more complex matters in real
strange ways. It is all so simple for people working with FreeBSD since
years but it looks strange for people coming from different professions ...

it is an option depending on your installation menthod.
Please correct me if I'm wrong:
GNOME (or KDE) in included in FreeBSD downloaded file but it isn't installed by
default, but it can be installed during installation process if I want to.
If I'm wrong, does this mean that I have to connect to Internet during FreeBSD
installation?
Thanks.
There are several ways to install FreeBSD.
The simplest would be the download of an ISO image of for the first CD,
burn it and boot the machine with it.
You can then install all packages from the CD without an Internet
connection.
Normally, all the things needed to have a decent computer are on this
CD. GNOME was earlier always included.
After FreeBSD is up and running, you can install the ports system and
install any program from the ports collection via an Internet connection.
