My only spare machine right now is a P-300 w/ about 16meg ram, so I won't be screaming along, but I wanted to start the process anyway. I was looking through the ports, and I see a ton of options. What I am looking for is something simple to start with. I figure a file manager of some sort, a web browser, and text editor for doing development work if I ever get to that point. I know I am being really vague, but there are so many options, I wanted to hear some recommendations. Right now, I am thinking about going with KDE3 as I have heard the name before. -Derrick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
