I've been trying to switch from Linux to BSD for my everyday computing (email,

antiX/Swift Linux and Puppy Linux for so long. I have a backlog of stuff to
do, so I'm sticking to Linux for now as my main OS. However, I might try BSD
in VirtualBox and on my laptop.
Are there any good tutorials for using BSD on the desktop?
Simple answer, if your only goal is to have a Unix-like desktop, you're
better off sticking with Linux. FreeBSD is not really focused on desktop
use, whereas a lot of the Linux distributions are, and if you're happy
with the ones you are using there is no good reason to switch.
If you want to use FreeBSD as a desktop because you have a desire to
learn FreeBSD, your best bet is visit the home page at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/, look under Documentation, and start reading the
Handbook.
hope this helps,
Doug
