Yes you can if your /usr/home is a separate partition (or on a separate 
slice). I'm back to FreeBSD now but when using PCBSD I create a / and a 
/usr/home. It works very well, I can do a whole fresh install on / 
without touching the /usr/home partition. The installer lets you do this 
(but back up first just in case). Then a bit of fiddling with fstab and 
users and it is all go.

PCBSD has flash sorted out, you can watch youtube, news website embedded 
video etc. Actually FreeBSD has flash sorted out as well...

I think they have done a very good job, I would say give it a try.
