    iXsystems of San Jose, California annouced today that they have acquired PC-BSD.

    PC-BSD is a complete UNIX operating system based on freeBSD with KDE and it's own software installer system, called PBI. It has been called here, "the most beginner friendly OS". I won't substantiate those claims but its worth a read. iXsystems will provide funding and development for the PC-BSD project. From the announcement:
    It's good to see some commercial backing for a freeBSD offspring. PC-BSD was already providing commercial support for their product but this will take it to another level.

    Enjoy

    BSD, the other, other OS. ;)
