I've been digging through the release notes (http://www.pcbsd.org/content/view/27/11/) and can't find anything to indicate that the underlying FreeBSD codebase has been upped from 7.0-STABLE. Anyone know different? I just added 7.0.1 and 7.0.2 to version table and have to assume that 7.0-STABLE is still what's "under-the-hood". I left in small '[?]'s because one might expect it was updated to 7.0-RELEASE. Someone please update (remove '[?]'s and, if needed, change FBSD version).

It states on thier homepage that PCBSD 8.0 is based on FreeBSD 8 -Stable. 81.23.50.232 (talk) 12:49, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
i was wondering if anyone could answer my question on compatability with programs programed for windows. it sounds like i would like this OS alot but i have far to much money invested into my gaming library to just drop it and go with this OS. so can you tell me what you have done so far as that?
+ Oh yeah, it has Virtualbox as well, so you could run the entire Windows OS if you wanted (...but why would you wanna do that?) —ᚹᚩᛞᛖᚾᚻᛖᛚᛗ (ᚷᛖᛋᛈᚱᛖᚳ) 02:11, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!

At the bottom of the package management section, there is a passage which is unclear. Is this statement supposed to be 'good' or 'bad'?
X claims that Y which has quality Z,is one which most N have problems with.
The article says GPL conflicts BSD license ideology. The nature of the BSD license is permissive, enabling users to use code, and even close it. So I'm wondering, how can GPLing the code be against the BSD license philosophy when the license itself permits any kind of usage? Either that part of the article is wrong, or BSD license does not reflect the BSD license philosophy (!?). Or am I mistaken? --Paxcoder (talk) 14:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Because the BSD licence is *truly* free. Its very simple. All it does is disclaim liability and tell you that you can do virtually what you want (including making non-free derivitives). Whereas the GPL is a complex licence which *forces* you to be free and make anything derivitive free as well(it is copyleft). The GPL is also a viral licence. Thats why many commercial software houses and hardware vendors are reuluctant to write drivers for linux, as they (if compiled as kernel modules) must be GPLed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.50.232 (talk) 12:52, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In Section Release history, timeline starts (from 2006) at bottom & finishes (to 2011) at top. Whereas accompanying box for release history start at top (from 2006, ver 1.0) & finishes at bottom (2011, ver 8.2). Since they are placed side by side, it creates confusion. I tried putting order:reverse, however it gives error that reverse order can only be used if DateFormat is yyyy. So only solution is to reverse the release history box (which wont look good) or to remove the timeline. Abhishek Kohli (talk) 10:27, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Since 9.0BETA1 are other desktop environments (GNOME, LXDE and Xfce) supported. Does anyone could write this in the article? My English is not good enough, to update the text for that.

citation link 1 is... not dead in the sense that it yields a 404 error, but nonetheless gone. I clicked it and it had become one of those stupid placeholder "this website is for sale!" sites filled with irrelevant search result links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.130.48 (talk) 02:31, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In this diff, a link to a vendor of commercially available hardware with PCBSD preinstalled was removed as link spam:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PC-BSD&curid=1950950&diff=493903776&oldid=493903034
Although I agree with the removal of an isolated link, I think commercial availability of PCBSD is notable in this context (as a somewhat obscure niche OS where such things are not routine like they are with other OS's), and perhaps more than an isolated link - a dedicated section - would be justifiable to begin covering the subject of PCBSD's market penetration.
