PC BSD and Desktop BSD

It seems that soon there will be many BSD distros just like Linux distros. Wow!

For some years there were the 3 main BSD competitives. The user-friendly oriented FreeBSD, the security oriented OpenBSD and the server oriented NetBSD. Now we have a customized FreeBSD, the DesktopBSD. I will download it to give it a try. But there is another competitive...

As I was looking for the DesktopBSD, I found out that there is another BSD distro, the PC BSD, that appeared after Desktop BSD. Although it is a customized FreeBSD like DesktopBSD, it is a little different from the known ports system of FreeBSD. As the FAQs of Desktop BSD says "PC-BSD utilises a new system of installing packages using a *.pbi package". Very interesting and helpful is the fact that you can find an PC BSD ISO for the VMWare player.

I remember one sketch on the (British version of) Linux Format showing someone, the well known Bill Gates, thinking how to name the Microsoft's Linux distro. Was Microsux a good name?

I am wondering...

How should we name our BSD distro?
