Hello, Next to time….
Why not use FreeBSD 7.2? and KDE 4.2?
or only kde 4.2?
KDE4 is very bad, is shit….
Has got very very, erros in the desktop and graphical KDE4.
Put in New DesktopBSD! KDE 4.2

Good work! And stay off KDE 4.X until its proven stable. But you guys at D-BSD need to make more noise, PC-BSD is stealing the show

Still using FreeBSD but trying PCBSD at present.
KDE 4 in PCBSD isn’t stable so stick a while with KDE 3.5.
Option to login as root would be useful to save continual SU’s especially during initial post-install setup (PCBSD).

Anyway will try DesktopBSD shortly.

i REALLY hope that desktopbsd developers DO NOT inculde KDE4, at least it becomes 4.3. desktopbsd should use freebsd7 as a base, but kde 3.5.10 is as good as it gets.

I wonder when the 64 bit version may come out? Waiting it along with nvidia drivers and flash …

>One good improvement would be the wireless stuff

There is a lot of new development in FreeBSD 7 in terms of wireless drivers.

Yeah, i agree with zaratustra..
DesktopBSD 2.0 with FreeBSD 7 and KDE 4 would be a good name.

Other distros with minor kde and freebsd 7 could remain 1.x

I’m downloading it. I like the new freebsd 7 innovations although Linux still catch the eye..
One good improvement would be the wireless stuff.. however, since bsd is still server oriented, i guess this new multicore-system they developed is very good.
Lovely to website servers.
Impressive effort to improve database performance.

nice way to go.
I expect to see DesktopBSD 2.0

Good Páscoa
