I don't know anything about BSD but I would like to learn. I got a Sony Vaio S series with i7 Cpu, Hybrid Graphics : Intel HD 3000 and Radeon 6630m. If want to give support for this kind of laptop I could be a beta tester.

Talking Please count me in as well
--I started with Freenas (and will be testing it further on a USB stick install) but** have now moved to PCBSD as my primary ZFS testing OS. :-)

** after several head-beating hours trying to get it to install...

--Initial ZFS timing results are very promising (note: NO tweaking has been done yet on the PCBSD host except for ' zpool import ' from freenas, and "noatime" on the ZFS pool -- and I'm using couple-years-old Commodity off-the-shelf hardware with the default 1500-byte Ethernet frames - NOT Jumbo):

[[
Code:
zpool list

tank0        72G  7.25G  64.7G    10%  ONLINE  -
tank2-500   460G  46.1G   414G    10%  ONLINE  -

/mnt/tank2-500/default/dv]$ zpool status

          gpt/da6   AVAIL

--Initial timing:

For this thread..., yeah, PC-BSD needs you.

Thumbs up
As a FreeBSD user I can see the usefulness of this project as spearhead to the desktop world and to gain positions in the IT market.

First you need to tell people how to install the system so that it will WORK when they have asked for help. Then, maybe they can become familiar enough with it to help. I am so interested in seeing what people talk about. How this system is soooo good. I have been trying for about a year to get the GD thing to install onto one, any one, of my computers.

But there are lots of tutorials to installing PC-BSD:
http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/PC-BSD_Users_Handbook

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI9HF3P_Eeg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSly779Op3I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J9PQbI4NuI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdgQB...51444824738627

The last one, I have not finished editing, cause my GTK library failed installing. Still they are raws that works.

Default how i installed PC-BSD on two Hard drives a Sata320GB and usb external seagate 500GB
well i just decided to install pc-bsd over two of my hard drives for desktop use.I downloaded the PC_BSD 9 isotope live dvd iso for 32 bit i386 systems.Burned the iso to a disc using brasero or any disc burning sw (nero,etc if you are coming from windows).
I then went to my BIOS and using BOOT from CD option booted to the live dvd.it came up with a host of options to choose a particular Desktop Environment for live dvd performance.I chose to boot from gnome and clicked on the install pc-bsd icon.after filling in the time zone ,keyboard details,and dedicating the entire hard drive (500gb USB first )i clicked on USE entire drive option,but Gnome showed a tendency to not be able to install correctly as it was having some issues with the initial part of installation.So I rebooted and chose Kde instead a s a desktop environment.I chose the application launcher and typed "pc-sysinstaller"in the search box and clicked on the run pC-sysinstaller icon.then the whole installation proceeded like a charm with no problems.and the most amazing part was that i had managed to install gnome,lxde,xfce as a part of the default install off the live dvd.Wy to go PC_BSD,freebsd and the unix movement

Create a wiki account for yourself at wiki.pcbsd.org and review the current installation sections. If you are more comfortable until you getting started editing, use the Discussion tab of a page to add your notes on what edits should be added.

Default Usability issues
I'm playing with 9.1 RC1. That's what I've got so far.
Screen DPI change.
Change Desktop Icon size.
"Add to desktop" for any item, including Control Panel.
Application installation should prompt for adding to start menu/desktop/launcher.
Right-click on icon should provide "Run as Root"-option.
A way to specify DNS IPs (IPV4) at each network interface, even with DHCP.
System-wide disable IPV6 (at least not using it externally).
Firewall - how to disable all incoming TCP?
System-wide font/font size change (QT, GTK, menues, ect., - all of them).
System-wide disable/enable animations/shadows/etc.
Plugging-in headphones should disable speaker (change sound interface).
Boot-up/shutdown are slow and there is no boot-up progress bar.
Custom format of "Digital clock", for ex "HH:MM:SS".
Wireless cannot connect, though adapter is working, (IPV6 issue?) and there is no hint of what's wrong.
