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 the availability of the first beta release of PC-BSD 7.0, a user-friendly desktop operating system based on FreeBSD 7.0: "The PC-BSD team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of PC-BSD version 7-BETA1! This release marks the first PC-BSD based on FreeBSD 7-STABLE and the KDE 4.1 desktop, and also provides many new ways to install, including DVD, USB and network/Internet installation choices. Our PBI site has also been updated with a wide variety of software ready for PC-BSD 7, with more being added weekly. This release is beta, which means things are still being worked on and fixed in preparation for the final release. Users are encouraged to report bugs to our bug database or our testing mailing list." More information can be found in the release announcement, release notes and changelog.
