[-- Attachment #1 --] Hmmmmm ...... I guess you mean in a GUI mode :) With any unix the appearance is exactly what you want it to be. I've yet to see two GUI FreeBSD installations that look even vaguely similar so I dunno what you mean by "good". My suggestion is to visit sites like http://www.xfce.org, http://www.gnome.org, http://www.kde.org & have a poke around. There's a heap more sites with window managers & no doubt some of the other regulars lurking around here will have their favourites .... my preference is definitely XFCE because it looks & performs similarly to the very professional CDE as used in Solaris / SCO / D-UX etc, also I have VERY bad memories of lockups etc with KDE when I was still messing around with linux, however XFCE is probably more suited to the more conservative of us .... boy-wonders may well be prepared to accept less stability if they can get all the flashing lights / bells & whistles / dancing girls / etc provided with the likes of Enlightenment ----- Original Message ----- From: -=Prankster=- To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2000 12:21 PM Subject: Can U help me? I was wondering if u could help me by givin me some snap shots to see wut it will look like on my computer and my friend want to see wut it was like cuz he thought if it's good he might get it so plz help me out...
