DesktopBSD lives on under new leadership
,----[ Quote ]
| Following the September 2009 announcement
| that version 1.7 of DesktopBSD would be the
| "last and final release", a small group of
| German developers have signed on to continue
| the distributions development. DesktopBSD is
| based on FreeBSD using the KDE desktop
| environment and is similar to PC-BSD which
| also focuses on a desktop version of the BSD
| variant.

Review: DesktopBSD 1.6
,----[ Quote ]
| So how do I rate DesktopBSD 1.6? I'd say it's a lot better than previous
| versions. It strikes just the right balance between being friendly to the new
| user, and yet powerful and geek enough to satisfy the more seasoned user. The
| developers did a good job this time around and I think they should pat
| themselves on the back. There's still room for improvement, but isn't that
| true with any distro? But it's not improvements to make it good, or even
| great. It's already great. The next step up will be to make it exceptional. A
| hard rung to climb, but not if you're determined to be the best there is out
| there, and DesktopBSD is easily on its way towards that goal!

A quick overview of Desktop BSD 1.3
,----[ Quote ]
| I'd give DesktopBSD a gracious 8/10 with two points being deducted for
| work that still needs to be done. It's very usable now, but could
| still serve to grow just a little bit. So if you want to start using
| it now, feel free to. It's ready to go, and the best part is, it
| only stands to get better as time goes on!
