The PC-BSD 8.0 Alpha has a full standard LiveCD mode. It boots to a
totally normal fully functional desktop, just the same as Ubuntu,
Fedora, etc.

Hi FreeBSD community
We are happy to announce the release of Tomahawk Desktop 2.0 Beta1. The
Tomahawk Desktop is based on FreeBSD 7.2 sources.
The objective of the release is to collaborate with the community to
iron out remaining technical issues.
Example, we could not get the KDE (ver. 4.3.3) up. When try to run the
KDE, the greeter crashes.
Tomahawk Desktop download: http://www.tomahawkcomputers.com/download.html
Kind regards
Sagara Wijetunga
