“Reviews published on this website are normally based on
installations on real hardware and in a virtual environment using
Virtualbox, but because the login screen did not respond to
keyboard inputs, all the contents of this review, including all but
the screen shot below and the one above, were derived from test
installations on real hardware. Even at that, the installation
image I download and burned to a DVD could not boot into the Live
desktop on all my test computers. For example, it failed to boot
into the Live desktop on an all-in-one, single touch computer with
an Intel Atom processor. This appears to be a problem with FreeBSD
9, as I have had the same problem with PC-BSD 9, another desktop
distribution based on FreeBSD 9.”
