I've heard of plans to potentially release a graphical installer based on pc-bsd, which will do all the bells an whistles. Not sure what stage its at though. The biggest thing we need for the release is for the loader to be compiled with zfs support in. It seems to have been in and out over the past few months so i try to make sure i have my own version specially compiled with it in.
