It is FreeBSD that makes it very easy to set up a KDE desktop and install software. It works very well indeed. Yes, it has issues with some of the plugins at the moment (like FreeBSD) and java still has to be compiled. But the installation is painless, and overall it is nicely done. It is well worth considering. www.pcbsd.org. Frank
