A few days ago I wrote about linux alternatives. Along those lines comes DesktopBSD. Based on Freebsd, this project released a second release canditate for their 1.0 release on August 10. Essentially they are built on FreeBSD and include KDE for a nice user interface. Their main goal is...
"to provide a desktop operating system that's easy to use, but still has all the functionality and power of BSD. In the long term, DesktopBSD wants to build an operating system that meets most requirements desktop users have, like installing software, configuring power management or sharing an internet connection. To be better able to fulfill this goal, we strongly rely on users that send in feature requests, ideas for improvements or participate in development."
