PC-BSD的目标是成为易于安装和使用的桌面操作系统，它基于FreeBSD。为达到此目标，它准备了一套图形化的安装程序，这将使得即便是UNIX新手也能容易地安装并使得它运行起来。PC-BSD还将装备KDE，以提供即刻可用的桌面。目前正在开发的是一套图形化的软件安装管理程序，这将使得安装预编译好的软件变得像其他流行操作系统一样方便。

Kris Moore has announced that the first release candidate for PC-BSD 7.1, a desktop operating system based on FreeBSD 7.1, is now ready for testing: "The PC-BSD team is pleased to announce the availability of PC-BSD 7.1-RC1, running FreeBSD 7.2-PRERELEASE, and KDE 4.2.1."
