PCBSD has to be installed into a primary partition (not a logical partition, ) on a hard drive. Normally a windows install uses 3 primary partitions, so use "gparted" to resize the largest partition down in size. You can move all the files to the beginning of the partition first, before using gparted. This leaves extra disk space to create a 4th primary partition to install PCBSD into. Need about 50 gigabytes for the partition size.
http://pcbsd.org You can boot puppylinux from a USB Flash drive and use the Gparted tool to resize the partition.
PCBSD adds GUI additions to a freebsd O/S. FreeBSD is very stable and is used on a majority of web servers, So that means your use of PCBSD as desktop environment (on you desktop pc or laptop pc) will give you a very stable environment that is not subject to viruses. No more updating of virus software. PCBSD has an automatic update for security packages.
The choice is yours PuppyLinux for quick use on a computer from a USB flash drive or PCBSD for a stable full desktop that has the ZFS file system.
