Review: PC-BSD 7

,----[ Quote ]
| I am thoroughly convinced that PC-BSD is the perfect choice for a newcomer to 
| the unix world. It is very straight forward and it requires very little unix 
| knowledge. Even though I mentioned a couple of caveats (eg. Bootloader, 
| Primary partition), I doubt a new user who is installing on a fresh system 
| will ever come across these issues. Even if someone does run into these 
| issues, the solutions provided in this article should give them a starting 
| point. The PC-BSD has a friendly and helpful community, they have an active 
| forum where you can seek help from fellow PC-BSD users. The PC-BSD team has 
| worked really hard on this release and the results are impressive. It is 
| ready to challenge the main stream Operating Systems (Windows, OS X and 
| Linux). I would encourage new users to try PC-BSD without any doubts. I would 
| definitely recommend Linux gurus to give this distribution a chance and I 
| promise, you won't be disappointed.

| This release marks a milestone for PC-BSD, by moving to the latest FreeBSD
| 7-Stable and also incorporating the KDE 4.1.1 desktop. Users will immediately
| notice the improved visual interface that KDE 4.1.1 offers, as well as a
| large improvement in hardware support and speed from the update to FreeBSD
| 7-Stable.

PC-BSD: Another Alternative To Linux As A Windows Alternative

,----[ Quote ]
| If PC-BSD is to be a serious contender alongside the Ubuntus, Fedoras, 
| Mandrivas and OpenSUSEs of the computing world, there is still some work to 
| be done on that proclaimed 'ease-of-use' issue.

Review: PC-BSD 1.5  

,----[ Quote ]
| PC-BSD, a strong contender for the top desktop distribution out there, has 
| once again grown, going from version 1.3 to 1.5 in just under a year.  In 
| that time it's grown, prospered, and had it's fair share of growing pains as 
| well.  But version 1.5 is only one subversion up from the previous version 
| 1.4 that we reviewed.  So what makes version 1.5 better than its predecessors 
| and worth a look from us?  Well, let's have a look.

First look at PC-BSD 1.5

| Compiz Fusion is included in this release and worked really well. There's a 
| menu entry which, when clicked, asks if you'd like to enable it at boot. When 
| clicked, Compiz Fusion is immediately enabled and special effects are 
| available. I didn't suffer any instability or performance issues when using 
| this application, but it did seem to require the restart of X to disable the 
| feature.

My Vietnamese Students used PC-BSD

,----[ Quote ]
| Most of them were successful though all preferred doing their projects in 
| Linux, that is what they told me. The bash shell in PCLinuxOS, according to 
| them, was easier since it told them which directory they were in. In short, 
| they got used to seeing $ /usr/home/guest/Desktop in PCLinuxOS while in 
| PC-BSD, they only saw $. pwd I kept telling them :)
