I gave them both a try when I first got into FreeBSD. I didn't particularly
care for their package management system. DesktopBSD has a really cool

What, us? The users? As Mary said, we don't care how you get your
everyday tasks done. Why should we present any arguments at all?
The switch isn't easy. It's damn

My experience with PC-BSD was that it was just different enough to
break alot of FreeBSD's documentation, and they don't have enough of
their own. I was a newbie, of course, but I went with vanilla FreeBSD

their own freebsd drivers, so I figured 'slam-dunk', but no such luck.

pci2: on pcib2
pci2: at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
