You haven't had the full pleasure of running a UNIX system until you've used FreeBSD :). I prefer it for my own servers every time.... but of course I'm running against the grain with that preference, the day job being a pure redhat shop... I couldn't say whether FreeBSD has as good an end user desktop experience, although I suspect it should, assuming your hardware supported. I think nvidia has an X11 driver for FreeBSD in addition to Linux... I've actually been pretty impressed with redhat 7 and the default gnome 3, after installing the nvidia drivers (I'm not an open source nazi, they work better than nouveau...) John
