For a desktop, pc-bsd (www.pcbsd.org) is pretty close to ideal, they use
kde for the wm (though I would have liked gnome), it works, and is nice to
look at with a lot of functionality.  The GPL lock in kinda bugs me about
it a little though...  Aside from that, it's one of the best compromises as an 
os from a usability standpoint though... would love to see more prebuilt
packages... have that box for you, still sitting in the corner btw, just need 
to get some time during the day to send it off... maybe could build an 
installer package for syncterm on it?
