I realize a desktop means many things to many people, but the biggest
thing holding me back from using FreeBSD on a desktop is flash
support.  I spent a little time trying to follow online instructions
and I didn't get anything working.

I use my Mac 90% of the time as just a web browser.  I use my PC 90%
of the time just to play Civ 5.  I use Linux at work because I can use
all the SCM tools I want (that FreeBSD also has) but also I can listen
to pandora and watch youtube videos while I work.
