>You can get x running beautifully if you simply take the time to read >about it and set it up. If they ever integrated X built into the core os >I would piss all over FreeBSD and move to net, open or something else. I second that. Then again, I have installed(read (toyed with") X maybe 3 times since 3.2 to determine viability as a desktop environment, then elected to pass on it for a corporate environment. Placed everyone on Win2k simply from a support/learning curve for users rational. Tech support is cheaper as well (multitude of MCSomethingOrOthers out there who can at least do basic win support). Using a non MS platorm on workstations simply because it isn't MS isn't a good reason IMO. That being said, my win2k destop seldom has less than 4 SecureCRT terminal windows open to the various servers... >The mere thought of that turns my stomach. I love FreeBSD. Don't give >these guys any idea's that are going to make BSD more like windows for >the stupid user that needs everything done for them. Just my two cents. Of the 20 some odd servers I manage with freebsd on it, none have X simply because it is't needed from a server pov. Personally, FreeBSD is a great server platform as is, leave X (et al) as an option.
