I am not so sure that will be the case. I have just recently purchased a 
mac mini and I have an old laptop running FreeBSD (X/KDE) and see a lot 
of differences. DesktopBSD looks like a much easier and user friendly 
way of getting a BSD/KDE desktop than using BSD's ports or compiling 
from source. What I do like about FreeBSD on a desktop is that it 
requires less resources to run (w/X+KDE) than most modern Linux 
distro's, so older hardware can still be put to good use. If you have an 
old box to try it on, I would like to hear your thoughts
