- Tichy 17y agoThing is, I haven't heard much about it. Will it - support all my hardware including printers and external monitors? - support all file and media formats? - have equivalents for all the important software? I am not much of a pioneer in such things. I prefer others to do the testing. If I see a significant amount of people using PCBSD without problems, I might give it a shot. Also I don't have much of an incentive to switch, as Ubuntu does OK for me.

That depends on what hardware you're using -- just as it does with Ubuntu, MS Windows, and MacOS X. > support all file and media formats? Applications do that -- not operating systems. Installing the win32-codecs port on FreeBSD (the basis for PC-BSD) works great for me, though. > have equivalents for all the important software? You are aware that Linux software generally runs on FreeBSD, right? . . . and that FreeBSD has a built-in Linux emulation layer you can enable during installation? . . . and that the FreeBSD ports system (which PC-BSD can use) has more software in it than any Linux distribution's software archives other than Debian?
