Don't forget DesktopBSD. I'm not a big user of PC-BSD or DesktopBSD. My desktop operating system is Mac OS X. My servers are FreeBSD WITHOUT_X11=YES. Howeever, it is my understanding, from what I've read, that DesktopBSD tries to stay closer to "the source" in that they use the ports collection to install most of the "make it easier for end-users" stuff. They seem to have an installer and some extra ports. That may give you more of the warm fuzzies than PC-BSD. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
