The PC-BSD gang concentrate on a solid desktop experience, and the apps in their app store generally just work (but make sure your system hardware is supported by FreeBSD though, especially laptops). An potential chicken&egg issue is that you may have to install PC-BSD first in order to browse the available apps (in the PC-BSD "AppCafe(R)"). Good luck! Dale
