FreesBIE and DesktopBSD are loooong dead....

Why don't we add a link to PC-BSD and maybe GhostBSD (though I read at
[1] that it needs to be polished more to be a user-friendly distro) to
the "LATEST RELEASES" section on freebsd.org?
That way we could promote FreeBSD on the desktop, have more people try
and run PC-BSD and keep simple "how do I set up a desktop?" questions
from freebsd-questions@
