After 2 years of continuous desktop use (primary desktop) I ran into a problem (Xorg DRI) that just completely burned me out corrupted file system through multiple hard locks trying to debug FreeBSD). I broke down and installed XP. The project has lost me as a desktop user. I do really miss KDE, ports system, and the FreeBSD user tool chain but I cannot come back, I've already upgraded my desktop hardware beyond that of FreeBSD's capabilities. My servers are still 100% FreeBSD though... But I am not sure how much longer this will be true.
