There was a point in time... and 2003 was probably about it, where FreeBSD on the desktop was just a dream... this would have been like 4.7 or thereabouts...

* Working NVidia driver * Working OSS sound with mixing/multi access (Like modern ALSA, except, ya know, not blowing chunks) * WOrking Java * Nice fonts

I think even FlashPlayer worked.

And there was linux binary compat so you could run whatever.

Yep 4.5 ish to about 4.9 were very nice and about the range when it was my main system.
