Besides pulling in all of the FreeBSD 10.0 features like the AMD Radeon KMS driver, ZFS file-system improvements, new packages. and much more, other PC-BSD 10.0 changes include now distributing their ISO as a hybrid file for USB media support, a new text-based installer, a UEFI loader is bundled on the installation media, GNOME 3 / MATE / Cinnamon are new desktop choices, and other modifications to their desktop-friendly FreeBSD environment.
