Then again, Ubuntu is tailored for the crowd that would be running Wintendo if it wasn't for Ubuntu. I love ArchLinux for the same reason I like FreeBSD (and want to run it as soon as I free up some hardware): Learning-curve is rather steep, but you can customize stuff exactly the way you want it (and it WORKS)!

I didn't intend to ask what FreeBSD jail was. I was intending to ask why PC-BSD comes with a special desktop icon labeled "ports jail" that gives you a terminal window where you're in a jail. I don't understand why you would want such a thing on a desktop machine. (PC-BSD is meant to be a FreeBSD distribution for desktop users.) And I don't understand what it has to do with the ports system.
