What about FreeBSD?

This is a discussion about What about FreeBSD? in the Everything Linux category; What are your opinions on FreeBSD? Is it good? Does it run fast on low end hardware? Ive heard that its good as a workstation. I have a copy of it on CD(FreeBSD 5. 2. 1 mini-install) but it's the Mini-install version which means it uses the internet to download some apps.

I have a copy of it on CD(FreeBSD 5.2.1 mini-install) but it's the Mini-install version which means it uses the internet to download some apps. I was wondering whether I am able to do a minimal install of FreeBSD on a computer without using an internet connection?

I've always wanted to have a look at FreeBSD, but it wouldn't be practicle for me as a desktop since you can't run Windows games via winex3/cedega with it. I wonder if there's a FreeBSD live cd? Hmmm... I'll go look...
