If your looking for a full featured PC desktop or a rock solid server PC BSD has a solution for you! PC-BSD or PCBSD, is a Unix-like, desktop-oriented operating system built upon the most recent releases of FreeBSD. It aims to be easy to install by using a graphical installation program, and easy and ready-to-use immediately by providing KDE SC, LXDE, Xfce, and MATE[1] as the desktop environment. It provides official binary Nvidia and Intel drivers for hardware acceleration and an optional 3D desktop interface through KWin, and Wine is ready-to-use in running Microsoft Windows software. PC-BSD is able to run Linux software,[2] in addition to FreeBSD ports, and it has its own package management system that allows users to graphically install pre-built software packages from a single downloaded executable file, which is unique for BSD operating systems. On PC-BSD, there are two applications for installing additional software. Historically, installing software on FreeBSD has been tricky, so PC-BSD invented a new, easier system. At the highest level is the AppCafe which offers an easy one-click solution to installing the most popular packages such as Firefox or OpenOffice. The AppCafe offers a range of recommendations as well as categories and a search facility.
