DesktopBSD 1.7

DesktopBSD's main goal is to provide a desktop operating system that's easy to use, but still has all the functionality and power of BSD. In the long term, DesktopBSD wants to build an operating system that meets most requirements desktop users have, like easy installation of software, configuring power management on mobile devices or sharing an internet connection. To be better able to fulfill this goal, we strongly rely on users who send in feature requests, ideas for improvements or participate in development.

DesktopBSD 1.7 features:

• Stability
  DesktopBSD is based on FreeBSD, which is one of the most reliable and robust operating systems in the world.
• Usability
  The KDE Desktop Environment and specially developed tools provide a maximum of usability to our users. KDE features such as KIO slaves or remote desktop sharing and DesktopBSD features like network profiles, easy mount procedures and many other convenience features make life easier and increase productivity.
• Performance
  The development of FreeBSD (and therefore DesktopBSD) is highly focused on performance. The system manages resources efficiently and reacts fast even when many processes are running simultaneously. This also affects networking, so DesktopBSD tries to optimally use the available bandwidth.
• Security
  When it comes to security, the BSD operating systems are world-class. For example, OpenBSD had only one remote in the default install in more than eight years. DesktopBSD benefits from the work of other BSDs such as OpenBSD and passes that advantage on to you.
