PC-BSD 8.0 Release Focuses On Desktop Use
donadony writes "Last Monday PC-BSD 8.0 was released. PC-BSD is based on FreeBSD and uses KDE as its default desktop environment. PC-BSD is designed to make BSD much easier for desktop use. The 8.0 release includes support for 3D acceleration with NVIDIA drivers on amd64 and improvements in the USB subsystem. The PC-BSD team has also developed a friendly package manager system with a simple-to-use GUI tool (see the screenshots tour). For a full list of changes, refer to the changelog."
This is not from Microsoft and it works Just out of the box. You do not need to struggle like how you do with Windows
February 23 Microsoft released a little noticed compatibility update for 32 and 64 bit Vista and Windows 7. It makes an interesting read - and the list is by no means exhaustive.
KOTOR now runs like a fine-tuned watch.
Application Compatibility Update for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2: February 2010
The Windows user is not a geek.
The programs he runs - the programs he buys - are shaped by an entirely different set of needs and expectations.
Windows for him makes a very comfortable fit.
Simply because windows is not free. And I don't want to reboot my computer as frequent as I change my underwear.
My desktop PC running Windows Server 2008 R2 has months of uptime. It'd be longer, but I tinker and reboot it on whim.
Where does your underwear say about your uptime?! :P
DATABASE WOW WOW
