DesktopBSD is a user-friendly operating system designed to offer stability and power to desktop users, providing a reliable platform with a range of features suitable for everyday use.
DesktopBSD is a reliable and powerful operating system designed specifically for desktop users. It combines the stability of FreeBSD, the usability and functionality of KDE, and specially developed software to create a system that's easy to use and install. The main goal of the DesktopBSD project is to provide users with an operating system that's easy to navigate but still packed with the power and functionality of BSD.
In the long run, DesktopBSD hopes to develop an operating system that meets most desktop user needs, such as software installation, power management configuration, and internet connection sharing. To accomplish this, DesktopBSD relies on user feedback in the form of feature requests, ideas for improvements, and constructive participation in development.
DesktopBSD is free software, meaning it's free of charge for users. Additionally, developers can download and modify the full source code to suit their needs.
There are several key features of DesktopBSD which make it an ideal choice for desktop users. Firstly, its stability is based on the reliable and robust FreeBSD operating system. Additionally, the KDE Desktop Environment and specially developed tools create an environment that's easily manageable and productive. Performance is another area that DesktopBSD excels in: the development of FreeBSD is heavily focused on performance, ensuring the system efficiently manages resources and reacts quickly to simultaneous processes. Finally, when it comes to security, BSD operating systems are world-class, and DesktopBSD is no exception.
DesktopBSD comes with many new features in the 1.6 stable release, including FreeBSD 6 as a reliable base system, support for modern graphics hardware, a live CD/DVD feature for testing, an improved installer, an enhanced package manager, and more. The 1.7 snapshot release is also exciting, with DesktopBSD based on FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE, and pre-built packages available for FreeBSD 7 on the server.
