arch is good too. i enjoyed arch and it has nano instead of vi you do need vi to setup free bsd. i installed freebsd just to see how it would run the install of xorg on version 9 kinda pisses me off 5 hours common
@fulanodelquinto ya arch comes with the option out of the box you have to install it thats the difference.. nano is what i been using for 3 or 4 yrs.. as far as 5 hours it took way much longer it was broken i had to install from source everytime and wouldnt install any other way no thanks i'll stay with linux.
@dronykz Linux over all for the average user is more enjoyable, and easier to use. PC-BSD is the most user friendly BSD I didn't like it. I alos freeBSD, OpenBSD and hated both of them. I like Linux as a desktop OS way better. However if I was going to use a BSD / Unix based OS I would just use Apple Mac OS X and be done with it. I think the question what's the point of BSD as a desktop OS for the average user is a good question, and the answer it's a geek toy.
@dronykz I think the answer is nothing because one can always recompile programs to make them work. What I like about it is the concept that you can make it what you want it to be. one can do that in any Unix type os though. One day I might play around with freebsd, I just got to read the manual first while setting it up.
yea the OpenBSD devs dont care much about the desktop market. Netbsd is great though, i've been using it for the past month or so and the desktop experience is great, its a very simple OS, but pkgsrc has most things you will find, actually netbsd has better emulation support than anyother OS, you can even use flash 10. the nvidia driver is a turnoff though, but usually the nv driver goes well with me, i have gotten nouveau to work ok with my geforce 6150, but it still isnt close to the nvidia.
Thank you, I chose Freebsd simply because it has the most support for desktop hardware, you can't get nvidia drivers on Net or Open, plus it seems its more well rounded, net bsd is geared toward embeded devices and openbsd does alot in the security department, both of which I don't feel are ready for the Desktop
thanks for this - just what i was looking for

You have great things to say, but filming in the bathroom doesn't exactly help your credibility(or reflect well on freebsd users).

@maria39208 With wine or VirtualBox, but not directly. A lot of stuff works in wine these days, which is nice.
