hello !
can you ask more about PC-BSD ?

about PC-BSD ?
It's pretty nice, the PBI system works great and it's pretty damn stable. I just don't like KDE, so I'll stick with FreeBSD for now.
The developers are great though, and they also have a pretty active IRC channel (#pcbsd at irc.freenode.org)

PC-BSD is awesome. Best DE (Desktop Environment), great packaging system and MUCH eaiser to setup and configure than "vanilla" FreeBSD.
@arno
you can certainly compile another DE in PC-BSD and other stuff
But i myself prefer FreeBSD, because i use FreeBSD on my server
im not really intrigued by BSD on the desktop

I know, but that defeats the point of using PCBSD... The good thing about PCBSD is that you won't have to do anything to set it up...

great piece of OS -- supposed to be one of the most stable around.
Has already made installation programs for common programs which is quite good. However, lacks a large fanbase unlike ubuntu.
I heard it's a rather nice BSD derivative. I've never used it, but I haven't heard much bad criticism about the OS...although it's been a year or so since I actually did read up anything about the whole OS.
well i can never remember if its DesktopBSD or PC-BSD that uses the freebsd ports system
which ever-one that is, i would highly reccomend it
The thing that does set the difference between linux and freebsd (not the derivative citation there) is that the FreeBSD team is a bit more slimmed down and mature (both in age, and i guess you could say in coding)
in linux, you have this spew of code being commited, and a new developer seemingly every week or month. Although linus does keep control and ultimately decides what is final commited to the kernel, things are still very chip chop on what you would call "stable" (unless your running 2.2 or 2.4, then you have no worries)
in FreeBSD its a controlled group of like 20-40 core developers that are writing code in a locked brain type enviroment (they all know how each person is writing, what there style is, etc)
seems just seem a bit more controlled and "stable" i guess you could say
but i love both FreeBSD and most linux distributions
i have yet to try DesktopBSD or PC-BSD just because the fact that i like control over my system.
and, its easier to add, than to take away...

PC-BSD and DesktopBSD are actually both distributions of FreeBSD with some extra GUI software. Both use ports (if you want 'em) and both also have a more newbie-friendly package system (PC-BSD especially, which has PBI which is basically just a Unix version of MSI...)
ah, thank you 
they dont use the freebsd kernel do they?

They use a slightly modified FreeBSD kernel (6.0 IIRC)
aha
thanks for the info again
i might have to look into it, as it sounds nice
