It's a user-friendly version of FreeBSD designed to provide a
workstation environment for the more novice-style users.. see here for

http://www.pcbsd.org/?p=learnhome
It's not a different BSD OS per se (as opposed to
Free/Dragonfly/Net/OpenBSD) but obviously the pre-defined hostname is a
problem for determining uniqueness... I wonder if this is something
better addressed by the PC-BSD developers as part of their setup process?
