From their site: 'DesktopBSD aims at being a stable and powerful operating system for desktop users. DesktopBSD combines the stability of FreeBSD, the usability and functionality of KDE and the simplicity of specially developed software to provide a system that's easy to use and install.'

I really hope

That someone makes a commerical distribution of this and hypes the bejeezus out of it and refuses to give any of the source back to the community.

As a bonus, if it manages to gain popularity, they can introduce I'll kinds of fun little incompatibilities, and eventually DRM. It'll be great, just what the BSD people always wanted. Maybe one of them will even get audited by the BSA for running this commericial distribution they basically created in their workplace. That would be the best. Getting your behind sued off for running your own code.

Of course, Apple is well along that path already. Hooray for evil.

Money-grubbing?

I am curious as to how your actually pay for your food and shelter? Since you obviously are above "money grubbing". Are you getting manna from heaven and living under a blessed sky? Oh, wait, dumb me. You mean that anyone BUT you collecting money is "money grubbing". Right. Silly me.
