PCBSD, anyone running it?

Well its suppose to be optimized for newer CPUs, getting rid of the junk for all the older stuff.

I dunno if its because of that or the fact that its BSD, but KDE is faster on it than the linux distros I've tried.

BSD does bench higher than Linux in many areas. Linux is generally faster as a database server, tho a little less stable.

Kinda like this distro, wish it used gnome but i assume I can add that?

its nice cuz they seem to update it 2-3 times a month.

I haven't used PCBSD, but BSD does use a very different model from Linux.

--BSD is not a distro - it is a (actually several) full OS; where linux is just a kernel.
--BSD has dedicated dev teams that manage the entire project. Linux has decentralized dev - that makes BSD release schedules easier to manage.

Gnome does run under BSD - http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/index.html

BSD isnt a distro, but isnt PCBSD? Either way I think I like this more, and its got a cool loading screen
