Hi, In the past couple of weeks i have been working on a little project that serves as a graphical front end to pkg_create, For the FreeBSD X contest, To make it a little easier for people to create themes for that contest. It is based on GTK+, A very nice GUI toolkit for X, And I was thinking about a more extensive project, Like a set of graphical tools/front ends to the various FreeBSD - Specific tools, like CVSup or PPP. Since the X Contest aims to bring a Default Desktop to the basic FreeBSD installation, as in Installing X with a Default Configuration, not with twm as default, It would be nice to include other easy to use, graphical applications that will share a constant look and feel and will make newbies alot more comfortable with FreeBSD. Sure, this idea isnt new in any case, but still, this is something We are lacking and i really think this could change the way people look at FreeBSD as a desktop Operating System, or even as a better way to introduce it, In general. If anyone has any comments on that, Please do reply. Bye, Gilad. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
