PC-BSD is a desktop operating system based on FreeBSD that focuses on usability. It provides a graphical installer and utilities like AppCafe for managing software packages and Warden for jail management. The latest version is 9.0 Isotope Edition and it can be installed from DVD, USB, or virtual machine images. After installation, the PC-FirstBoot utility helps with initial configuration and connecting to networks. Software is managed through the pbi package system and AppCafe front-end. System updates are also available through the Update Manager.
