        Interesting. A new BSD does not come along very often.

          I really wonder what they've done other than take FreeBSD and install a few packages? On the surface I don't see much value added over a vanilla FreeBSD installation. If there is some good value they've added, they don't appear to be touting it on their website.

          I'm just not sure why I would chose this over FreeBSD? Or if I wanted something that was more of a "ready to go" desktop system, why not PC-BSD? The PC-BSD guys did a bunch of work getting things like auto mount to work well out of the box, and developed decent GUIs utilities for package management and backups. I would be very surprised with JabirBSD has half of this.

          This project wasn't well received last year on the FreeBSD forums And this interview last year had a lot of odd responses.

            Well, it's a kid who doesn't speak English. That will do it.

              The more I see this the more it seems like some kids just forking FreeBSD to say that they did it and not for any actual purpose.
