I like the > look of Fluxbox and Enlightenment. If you want something nice to look at, make sure to look at xfce4 - it's relatively minimal (not as much as Fluxbox but certainly more so than GNOME or KDE), but it has GTK theme support so the fonts, buttons, and whatnot look much nicer while using GTK applications such as xchat or gaim. I would also suggest that the "fun of learning a new system" in the case of FreeBSD will come more from a shell prompt than from a windowing system. --/WwmFnJnmDyWGHa4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFC7Ys+Aud/2YgchcQRAvMPAKDjGgBO2JeWnaM5Ch9XyhJLhBqsPQCgzpuP lw3Q86lmHuyj3cxDLVsgcTM= =rRbB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --/WwmFnJnmDyWGHa4--
