PC-BSD seems like a good idea, but it needs a whole lot of work to make it feasible. The installer is basically a QT-based GUI that's running on top of sysinstall. I hope that will become a bit more original later. I hope that the upgrade and port/package management process is simplified for beginners as well. If this sort of thing will attract new personal and business users to the *BSD community, then I think it's a fantastic idea.
