yes it is.
 
*****************
Thanks for all your help! I managed to install it on my working system and it was a fairly simple procedure. Now I need to restructure my system because I've installed it as a desktop system, but want to use the system more like a server (database & ruby & weka ). So I will need to deinstall all installed packages like KDE4.1, Xorg, Firefox etc etc.
Will still need to figure that out (assuming a pkg_delete -a is what I need)
