In years past I read that PCBSD was making strides, but why would I want to it as a desktop now? I don't know if this is an appropriate venue to ask this question? I know FreeBSD rawks as a stand alone server. One complain from a friend year back is that it didn't really have a strong support for virtualization and clustering. Also, interested in hearing the original topic on ZFS. Thanks, SDA
