If your smart enough to even work out how to get FreeBSD installed in the first place, it leaves you dumped at a black screen with a cursor to type with. From there, you're on your own : )
PC-BSD has taken the next few hours of banging your head against a terminal window and dozens of pages of documentation away.
Thats the BIG one, but there are many other conveniences in PC-BSD land.
sblevin is absolutely correct. PC-BSD is intended to help get a desktop running FreeBSD 5.4 with the KDE environment running. Eventually, I expect that maintence issues will be addressed as well.
If you are comfortable enough with FreeBSD to install a desktop from scratch, please do go ahead. That's what I have done. If you would like assistance, then install PC-BSD.
