Desktop Computing, Served up BSD Style (KDE.News) [LWN.net]

KDE.News takes a look at PC-BSD, an OS that combines FreeBSD with KDE. "PC-BSD aims to be user-friendly, especially in the area of software installation and management. Of course PC-BSD comes with a nice graphical installer which can also be used by other Free-BSD users to install the OS in a modern fashion. Screenshots and an ISO for Download are available immediately."

Whatever you do, don't read the comments after the article. They're full of people who REALLY don't know what they're talking about. :)

Well, they say if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything
at all. So, I'll say that while I read dot.kde's articles, it's a
pleasure to be back on LWN, for /both/ the articles and comments. Of the
websites with comments I frequent, LWN and kuro5hin.org are about the only
two where comments are really worth more than skimming, most of the time.
There are occasional exceptions in both directions, of course, but that's
the general case. We have something very rare and valuable going on here
at LWN, with the comments here. It's something I certainly treasure, as
the comments actually add a quite a bit of value to many of the articles,
value that couldn't otherwise be had.
