PC-BSD 7 is a mixed bag

I also have had mixed results for PC-BSD. It installed quickly and easily on my desktop computer (athlon 64 processor). I tried the PBI downloads and they worked perfectly which really was great. The problem started when I added my printers. I added two printers and they worked immediately afterwards. The problem occurred after I shut down the system and came back to them the next day. The printers were mixed up. I tried to print to my laser printer, the job went to my inkjet but it used the laser drivers. And the opposite happened when I tried printing to the inkjet printer. So I uninstalled and installed the printers again. Same results. On top of this, I could not shut down normally again. The computer always hung up and did not shut down normally. I am not sure the problem was with KDE or PC-BSD but it did not work for me and I will have to go back to MEPIS or MINT until a clean and usable alternative exists.
