[pc/free]bsd *can* be used as a desktop system, but it's really aimed
more at servers... a lot of common desktopy things aren't covered well.
Based on the wording of your question it sounds like you're new to
non-windows systems. I'd suggest you look into some flavor of linux
instead (eg; "ubuntu" or "mint"): they'll be geared more towards what
you'd be looking for I think.

Why not PC-BSD? Easy to install and has a great looking and functional desktop.

+1 for PCBSD.
I put together a PCBSD system for my sister who is not very technical
and she likes it. It does everything she needs. She even prefers the
version of Open Office to the MS version she uses at work.
