I've always wanted to use BSD as a desktop -- it just seems so much better thought out, and laid out together as an OS. However, it's /never/ been _quite_ there -- a bit like Linux in the early 2000s. Linux, meanwhile, made the leap to being mainstream enough such that support is widespread and I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to do things like add "noacpi" to the boot string. I wish the same would happen for BSD. It's just a popularity problem!
