Interview With the PC-BSD Team 130

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday May 08, 2006 @09:28PM from the user-friendly-depends-so-much-on-the-user dept.

GeekyBodhi writes "FOSSEngineer.com has an interview with a couple of guys from the PC-BSD development team after the distro recently released their first stable version 1.0. PC-BSD is built on top of FreeBSD and aims to dumb down installation and daily usage, enabling a non-technical user to run it as his primary desktop. The guys talk about their pre-release journey, features unique to PC-BSD and why a minimal installation system is a good thing."

I'm not taking that bet, because I can guess how much your time is worth. Apple-haters tend to be failures at life [com.com].

I consider myself well-educated with computers but I've never taken the time and effort to quit Windows for Linux. If it's really easy, I'd probably do it.

I consider myself a brain surgeon, but I've never actually bothered to hold a scalpel. If it were really easy, I probably would though.
