I say yes. If you are more into artistic work such as making music, and movies, animation, and the such...I have to say from what i've seen FreeBSD is probably not the way to go, unless you're willing to build the required software. But how long will that take? For casual users not into games that much, office users, and software developers, and perhaps engineers FreeBSD is an ace.
