It is also available in the ports collection. PC-BSD code is based on a sh back-end and a qt front-end.

Many of us have a background in the “main stream” OS application development field. Is there any plans of a unique BSD windowing system that can be standardized and used to design a RAD gui ide similar to vb? I for one would love to start developing for PC-BSD, but the learning curve is so far proving to be a bit much while trying to hold down a full time job whereas in those other OS systems, they built the development tools early on, and while there are always and will always be addons and components to contribute, the basic programming architecture and methodology stayed the same or with at least some resemblance to the prior methods even as the OS progressed into full blown mainstream use. Right now the hardest part in getting friends, family, and potential clients that I’d love to have use your software, is the lack of more software that is similar to what we find in other systems. I don’t mean to offend, merely to suggest a concerted effort to build a rapid development model and gui that can be standardized regardless of what linux does in the future, and that the desktop managers can be optimized to use (similar to how gnome and kde work on x11) or not if they prefer the status quo.

My second concern is gui or relatively easy setup and configuration of any major functionality with the whole system. for example I am making a media server, I don’t want to have to fight the OS for network sharing of files. So I am very happy to hear about all these upcoming changes :)

Regarding #2, probably not as area51 is usually in various stages of brokenness.

And it’s just not going to work. So I’ll guess I’ll just haft to wait on 9.2 I have installed 9.0 on a Dell Opti 745. And it works great… All the PC’s I have are Dell Opti 745..

bad graphics drivers
outdated ports

Ports on FreeBSD are the same for release, stable and current FreeBSD.
