You will have to choose to use KDE, Gnome 2 or Gnome 3, Xfce, Lxde or another desktop environment you want to use. Instructions to do so can be found in the online documentation (Handbook, FAQ, Wiki) accessible from FreeBSD's main site. In your case, why don't you give PC-BSD a try? It's FreeBSD, with additional tools and programs preinstalled, and it comes with a preconfigured GUI which includes what you probably call "home screen". It's easy to install and to use. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
