It takes a great while to build the system like this, but since it is a BETA, it might not be worth it and then to figure out that X does still not work.

Nah, prefer native FreeBSD as PCBSD will make it too easy :( + I would like to help out in testing and learn more about FreeBSD. I have tested linux distros before, but they work differently than FreeBSD, and there is not as much fun*, things to try* as they are in FreeBSD beta2? > HTH, > -Garrett Regards, Antonio
