BSD does have a nice "integrated" feel to it. I am impressed by the up to

Should I then toss out Gentoo, and go over to PCBSD?
You could also look at DesktopBSD[1]. It uses the FreeBSD ports
collection where PC-BSD created their own packaging system. Otherwise
you could just use the normal FreeBSD CD's and install what you want
from packages.
I need KDE, including Scribus, KMail & Konqueror, a full TeX install, and Lyx.
Yes they are all in the FreeBSD ports collection.
