You can probably go with MATE or Cinnamon if you want to use a Gnome 2 environment. If "Zeitgeist" cannot be removed from Gnome 3, it would probably be a no-go for me, too. > 2.

I'm doing this for decades now. :-) Refer to the online documentation and examples I have provided in the previous message. Basically, all you need to do is install the window manager you want (and there is plenty of choice), adjust ~/.xinitrc (or ~/.xsession if you're using a display manager), and it's done. It is actually not hard. The documentation will guide you through the process, so anything you need to do is just to "read, think, act". No software will be forced upon you. You just want a window manager? Try fvwm2. You don't like it? Deinstall it, install WindowMaker. With the "pkg" tool, it's easy. No manual downloading from the web, no handholding, no rebooting. :-) You can probably find some more inspiration here: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/36382/ > If yes ,author will try FreeBSD=20 It's definitely worth a try. On the other hand, you could also try TrueOS (ex PC-BSD), which is a desktop-oriented variation of FreeBSD; in fact, it's FreeBSD plus additional software preinstalled and preconfigured. http://web.pcbsd.org/ https://www.trueos.org/ https://www.trueos.org/downloads/ It comes with an easy to use installer and is GUI based. > In Hamburg Systemadministrator von Universit=E4t Studenten Caffe =20 > versuchte > installieren f=FCr Autor 64-bit Ubuntu=20 > -ohne Erfolg ( tty arbeitsf=E4hig) ,vielleicht er wird helfen A university sysadmin should be able to install Ubuntu without any problem. If there is a problem, he should be able to identify it (for example, hardware not supported). But I can imagine that troubleshooting with Ubuntu isn't as easy as with FreeBSD. Hmmm... "shortage on professionals"... ;-) > Oder versuchen ab Anfang reinforced Linux ? FreeBSD isn't as popular as Linux, but it's definitely not inferior, especially not because of the property of "usage share". --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
