I looked into FreeSBIE's doc's earlier this week and seem to recall their current release can't be installed to disk, but otoh, can be imported into an existing FreeBSD.
It doesn't appear as easy to work with as PC- and/or DesktopBSD though (or maybe Ubuntu, which I haven't checked yet).

Yesterday I found out about VMplayer, a virtual machine (freeware - I didn't know it existed).
So I downloaded that and installed the VMware version of PC-BSD to take a look at that again.

From what I know now, I'll probably go for either PC- or DesktopBSD or something like Ubuntu.
Thanks for your feedback all
