Ok, this seems pretty outdated to me. FreeBSD 5.2.1 is
out, and is very stable. You should try that out. They
just apply fixes and a couple other things to the 4.x
tree now. I use FreeBSD as a workstation as well. The
"is only good as a server" talk is pure talk, not
true. Its very reliable as a desktop. If you don't
want to use 5.x you might consider using DragonflyBSD
since it forked FreeBSD 4.x tree. It has lots of nice
features of 5.x without the bloat, new threading
system which is faster(reason I use it), and its being
developed as a new technology system as opposed to
FreeBSD's sluggish development(lately they have not
been very active IMO). --David Ross
