Which BSD is best fit for me?
- elektronjunge 12y agoPC-BSD is probably your best bet. Its a distro of FreeBSD with tools to make it easier to use as a desktop. If you don't mind wading through config files then any of the big 4 (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD) should be good for you. I recommend FreeBSD or maybe OpenBSD. NetBSD will run everywhere but isn't the best for standard hardware. DragonFly is too experimental. FreeBSD is the easiest to setup and has the most hardware/package support. OpenBSD is nearly as good on this front but you may have more difficulty.
