  Given that window managers such as KDE and Gnome compile and run just
fine on BSDs, as well as basically unix/linux software. why aren't BSDs
suited for desktops? It's not like you would see much of a difference...

  (Ok, I can think of one thing which might not work in BSDs very well:
The properietary ATI and NVidia display drivers, which are made as Linux
kernel modules. OTOH, I think that the third-party open source drivers
should work in BSD equally well as in Linux.)
