I dont know about DFBSD. I was using FreeBSD as desktop system for
around 1 month. It gives the package management system called ports.
That is almost equal to abs in arch linux and gentoo portage. Like
arch linux, freebsd also provides binary packages. Once you install
desktop system like gnome or kde, all the BSD/Linux act as same. But
the difference comes when you move to command line. I guess FreeBSD
and DFBSD will provide almost same command line environment. There is
a package in FreeBSD that will provide linux binary compatibility and
all other stuff needed to get the Linux environment.

Since you are asking for desktop system, I will say they are same,
since you are going to use same desktop system on both slackware and
BSD.

Don't bother about x86_64 Dfly  for desktop kinda apps (browser with
flash), linux ABI etc. Those haven't been ported yet. If you stick to
i386, maybe it would do good to install KDE and the like.  Personally
I prefer to keep things simple and fast, with WindowMaker rather than
the esoteric ones like KDE or Gnome on BSds or on the Linuces (sorry ,
i meant the distros).

As per my  previous post, dfly don't work with acpi and msk /iwn
modules or devices on my Toshiba laptop. I need to disable acpi to get
the network.

Still, something charming about the Bsds, i prefer to host the servers
on one of them.

regards

Nataraj
