My experience with PC-BSD was that it was just different enough to break alot of FreeBSD's documentation, and they don't have enough of their own. I was a newbie, of course, but I went with vanilla FreeBSD because of the handbook and freebsd-questions, and I've no regrets. Been at least 9 months. Course I like to hack.
