Actually looks pretty nice. I'm gonna give it a run later today.

What are your thoughts?

QuoteOne of the problems facing the multitude of Linux distributions is the sheer bloated-ness of their installation.

QuoteFor this reason KDE was chosen as the default desktop.

Oh the irony.

FreeBSD has probably ("probably" meaning personal opinion, not gospel truth) the most complete, and easy to use documentation of any unix derived OS, in the form of The FreeBSD Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html).  PC-BSD aims to help those unfamiliar with FreeBSD, which is the same thing the handbook does.  Hence, PC-BSD is, in my opinion, a waste of time.

I think, by bloatedness, they mean software you aren't going to use. (i.e. multiple window managers instead of just one).

But so far, it seems to suck.
