On FreeBSD site is:
"FreeBSDĀ® is an advanced operating system for modern server, desktop, and embedded computer platforms...."

My computer is old and I don't have a problem with modern desktop operating system but my wife has a new one and she had problems and because that on her computer are Linux and Windows.
