Living The PC-BSD Lifestyle

,----[ Quote ]
| Some people are Mac, some are Windows, I am PC-BSD. PC-BSD is more than an 
| operating system, itâs a lifestyle. 
|
| Sitting next to my 47â Westinghouse LCD TV is the iXsystems Apollo 
| Workstation. This workstation is powered by the 5500 series of the Intel 
| Xeon processor, an Asus GeForce 9800 GT video card, and 4 gigs of RAM. It 
| came with PC-BSD Galileo Edition (7.1) pre-installed and a handful of 
| applications that immediately increased my quality of life tenfold.

PCBSD 7.0 Review

,----[ Quote ]
| PCBSD is a nice distribution for new users to the "alternative" operating
| systems as it is pointed towards new users, but advance users would not be
| disappointed. It is nice to see that PCBSD is progressing nicely, but there
| is still that issue of no 64 bit support as they have done it once in the
| past but strictly release their distribution for 32bit support only.

PC-BSD 7 Released

,----[ Quote ]
| 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 Â

,----[ 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. ÂIn
| that time it's grown, prospered, and had it's fair share of growing pains as
| well. ÂBut version 1.5 is only one subversion up from the previous version
| 1.4 that we reviewed. ÂSo what makes version 1.5 better than its predecessors
| and worth a look from us? ÂWell, let's have a look. Â Â Â

First look at PC-BSD 1.5

,----[ Quote ]
| 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. Â Â

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 :) Â Â
