What do people think of FreeBSD as the base OS for this idea?
In this case, I would recommend to use PC-BSD.
http://www.pcbsd.org/
PC-BSD is full FreeBSD 7.1, with nice grapical installer,
pre-configured for desktop use. Xorg, KDE, Firefox, Thunderbird,
Open Office, flash, etc. -- all will work out of the box...
After installing PC-BSD, you can think of it as a standard FreeBSD
-- Upgrade ports, build kernel, etc.
Does anyone know if Flash 9 works on pcbsd? In fact, I use current
and it works but hangs probably 4 times a day and I have to kill the
linux pviewer.bin processes and restart apache to continue. It is
much better than nothing though. I'm still using wine with windows
firefox and flash doesn't give me any problems but I have problems
with character sets so I use it only for flash.
