It's certainly not slow and messy here. I installed PCBSD a couple of
months ago after a few years of rolling my own desktop and I love it.
On reasonable spec hardware it runs very well, the developers have
done an excellent job
of course. windows vista runs well too on overmuscled hardware.
Just i don't understand the idea of wasting the power of good hardware
just to waste.
Ok this is getting a bit OT but I would like to say it as I think it is
something that we should be having a lot of discussion about. There is a
further reason for using PCBSD which is energy consumption. My computer
used to run for hours even days upgrading the base system and my desktop
ports. Now it's all done once (well more than once for testing but you
get the point I hope). And fairly new hardware can be more energy
efficient than quite old hardware.
There is of course freebsd-update which sounds great though I haven't
used it, and pkg_add, but I generally found upgrading ports (with
portmanager - my plug) gave better results.
