I have tried installing FreeBSD and have gotten the basic non-gui working but have never been able to load and run the gui. I tried the PC-BSD. I liked it. There is still a learning curve. It is not a simple point and click O/S. I think BSD needs to expand its base and PC-BSD is a vehical that may help get more newbe's like me started. Started is the word. I still have a lot to learn, more how to use it and get all the apps and hardware working. and the command line. thats my two cents worth anyway.
