Thanks very much for your time and hope to hear something soon. For video editing, you might want to have a look at http://www.jahshaka.com/ Though this is not available in the ports yet I think. As others have said Linux/FreeBSD is usually using the same software. Most importantly you should compare both FreeBSD an Linux based on software and hardware support that you need for video editing. Better questions would be: Does FreeBSD support DV/Firewire for camcorders? Does FreeBSD support video capture cards, which ones? (this is important, a lot of high end cards don't have drivers for Linux/FreeBSD) Is software available on FreeBSD to do such and such? -- Optimized, readable, on time; Pick any two.

The trick is setting up your xconfiguration, setting up kdm so you will have a graphical login screen, and to add the .xsession and .xinitrc files to ~/.

Virgil Gross There is a sticky thread on the forum at freebsdforums.org, I believe in the FreeBSD General category, in which several people have posted screenshots of their BSD desktops.

The Good News: Mac OS X is based on BSD, stable as a rock, and has lots of video editing SW available, and a large user base in the community of video editors. Bad side, it isn't free.
