I don't have any problem with PC-BSD and maybe it's a good solution here.
It's just different enough in various ways from FreeBSD that I can't support
it easily. At least that's been my impression from the few times I've tried
it. Also it's had quirky bugs which made it more difficult to use, for
example the PC-BSD installer didn't display right on my widescreen monitor
even though my monitor was quite standard. I had to find and hook up a
standard 4:3 which then worked(you can also pan in X if you remember the
keystrokes). Maybe that's fixed now, but my experience with FreeBSD simply
makes it easier.
