This is becoming less and less true, looking at www.pcbsd.org and www.desktopbsd.net as examples. I'm using FreeBSD 7.0 as a desktop with the ULE scheduler and PCBSD as a hamradio desktop.

My focus (and Xride's focus; plus the contributors to the ports tree) hav been on making hamradio apps very viable and useful on FreeBSD. http://www.freshports.org/hamradio http://www.db.net/hamfreesbie - 73 Diane VA3DB ;-) -- - db@FreeBSD.org db@db.net http://www.db.net/~db
