(KDE or ) No KDE and stuff. You got to install it as part of the ports. You get fairly minimalistic Window Managers which too you can only optionally install. I guess WindowMaker, metacity, fvwm and afterstep are available on the second CD if you happen to have it. Else KDE, GNOME, enlightenment and (someone told me of this one) ratpoison (supposedly keyboard friendly) are available too ... so go ahead and download. Btw, moi a newbie too ... so not seen a running desktop on my box yet. But I want a break from KDE and GNOME. Cheers, Andy
