Almost any Linux screen shot will look exactly the same, because they both use the X11 GUI and can run Gnome, KDE, WindowMaker,BlackBox, etc as their window manager.

FreeBSD looks like a command prompt (defined by the shell and $PS1)

Graphically, it looks like whatever you are running as an X window manager / desktop environment.

A generic page (don't know if it's up to date) on window managers (with lot's of screenshots)

Window Managers for X

You can also look at anything Gnome or Kde.

In short, it can look like anything that uses X. The only difference is that you won't have some of the Linux specific applications (Like Mandrake Diskdrake or Redhat up2date).

For your viewing plasure, out of google images: FreeBSD screenshots

lol @ this thread

freebsd is just a unix OS/kernel and does not dictate what you see on the screen, that is taken care of by Xfree86, which is also used in linux and other stuff. and in X, you can use different window managers, like window maker, enlightenment, or blackbox, to name a few, also you can use different desktop environments which consist of your taskbar thing, and your desktop icons and so forth. examples are gnome, kde, and ximian gnome.

so if you see a linux screenshot, it could be bsd and you would never know. the difference is "under the hood" so to speak.

bsd/linux are the 'engine', X is the body.
