PC-BSD Rolls Into A Rolling Release Distribution

Oh look, our Linsux loser kid has a new name, trying to mock those who can't read too well.

Anyway:

It's an "apt-get" fork

Have you ever worked with apt-get?
If so, you would know that pkg can do much more. It can even search, apt-get can't.

Fail noob.

I understand the technical differences between LM and LMDE, I was just pointing out that they aren't fully 'transitioning' to a rolling release model and using an example that many people here would be aware of.
Either way, it's a welcome addition that I hope will make PC-BSD more appealing to desktop users.

Linux Mint and LMDE are not the same system. LMDE is a Debian-based distribution, Linux Mint is Ubuntu-based. Like CentOS is not Fedora.

To reiterate what I said in the post I made before, they're not transitioning to a rolling release model, but rather offering it as an option next to their stable releases.
Much like what Linux Mint does with LMDE.

And it features preconfigured pkgng repositories. Finally, the "apt" clone works like a charm!
