[Video] PC-BSD 10.3 | BSD Distribution, First Impressions

By Leave a Comment

If you are looking to looking to make the switch to PC-BSD, this video by user Chris Were Digital features a beginner look at the FreeBSD based desktop operating system.

Available from http://PCBSD.org
“PC-BSD has as its goals to be an easy-to-install-and-use desktop operating system, based on FreeBSD. To accomplish this, it provides a graphical installation to enable even UNIX novices to easily install and get it running. It pre-configures KDE, video, sound, and networking so that the desktop can be used immediately. A graphical software installation program makes installing pre-built software, known as Push Button Installers (PBI), as easy as other popular operating systems. ” -Distrowatch.com
