How is "desktop support" on FreeBSD lacking? I realize a desktop means many things to many people, but the biggest thing holding me back from using FreeBSD on a desktop is flash support. I spent a little time trying to follow online instructions and I didn't get anything working. I use my Mac 90% of the time as just a web browser. I use my PC 90% of the time just to play Civ 5. I use Linux at work because I can use all the SCM tools I want (that FreeBSD also has) but also I can listen to pandora and watch youtube videos while I work. Cheers, matthew
