[edit] Compatability.

i was wondering if anyone could answer my question on compatability with programs programed for windows. it sounds like i would like this OS alot but i have far to much money invested into my gaming library to just drop it and go with this OS. so can you tell me what you have done so far as that?

You can always multi-boot (have more than one OS on your computer). In this way, you can boot into your windows partition and play games. When finished reboot into BSD. Easy. --Felipe1982

Just like on Linux you can run windows programs under WINE, which among other things add Direct3D/DirectX support (OpenGL runs native on PC-BSD). ----MRqtH2

[edit] Package Management

At the bottom of the package management section, there is a passage which is unclear. Is this statement supposed to be 'good' or 'bad'?

The PC-BSD project claims its style of package management, which is similar to that of major operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, is one which most other Unix-like systems struggle with. Felipe1982 04:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

X claims that Y which has quality Z,is one which most N have problems with.
