There are forums and an active community for PCBSD. Those places are going to provide you a lot more feedback on questions like this. I don't _use_ PCBSD ... I have _tried_ it, and my experience has been very good. On an IBM laptop, everything just worked out of the box, and worked well. My problem is that I like to tweak, and I'm already happy with my ability to tweak FreeBSD :) -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
