Every PC-BSD review that I see seems to suggest that it's better as an
adventure rather than a favourable replacement to Linux. But uptime of BSD's
is said to be excellent. I think that the developers of PC-BSD promise the
world because Linux steals the gleam. And they have some problems due to
Linux bias, e.g. the GNOME project.
