Desktop enviroment

[TimmyK]

Hello, I am thinking of installing DesktopBSD (very close to FreeBSD but with a few extras), but by default it comes with the KDE desktop environment. I am much more comfortable with GNOME; is there any way of changing this after installation?

A forum member here made GhostBSD -> http://ghostbsd.org/

+1 for GhostBSD, I'm running it beautifully on an Intel i7 920 + X58 chipset.

Is GhostBSD pretty much the same as DesktopBSD aside from desktop environment then?

PC-BSD, DesktopBSD, GhostBSD they are all the same FreeBSD under the hood

GhostBSD offers Gnome by default; I've used DesktopBSD and PC-BSD in the past, but I must say that I favor GhostBSD of the three.

OK, thank you, I am running GhostBSD now as a virtual machine. It's pretty good.
