I like GhostBSD, I often use it to validate our graphics stack works as expected on new hardware. I also find it refreshing to have an "opinionated" desktop environment, meaning the GhostBSD team put effort in to customize defaults for a great user experience. from my experience it seems to also do a good job not deviating too much from a vanilla FreeBSD install as well, so it may be a good choice to get more familiar with howto sysadmin a FreeBSD box while also having a usable graphical desktop with modern applications. cheers, -pete -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
