No... it is actually true...

Installing software from ports involves "Dependancies"!

Installing software from PBI's does not.

Really though... I don't believe PC-BSD is aiming(target users) for people who know as much as you do. PC-BSD is more for... your Mom and Dad, your daughter's Kindergarten teacher, a secretary, etc...

I hear a lot of people complain about configuring PC-BSD for some special kernel etc... They don't seem to realize that they are NOT the intended audience. If you want to do that stuff just install FreeBSD and maybe add the port for DesktopBSD and configure away. That's a whole different market.

I support a location with a FreeBSD Server or two and I configure on those. But the school teachers and the custodian are running on PC-BSD as standard as I can keep it. They love it! I love it!

Keep it simple. PC-BSD is not for the few Geeks... It's for the Masses!
