first off all _DON'T_ reccomend postfix to a newbie.
just let me say that first.
second there are many classes of newbies, we try to often to group them
together. Most of the freebsd newbies i have run accross are putting
forth a lot of effort into getting what they want and need out of there
computer.
Giving them a graphical starting point could very easily cut down
on the learning curve and help to get rid of "freebsd is harder to
install than linux" thing. Even though it is garbage that is the way
freebsd endsup being presented by those who aren't in the know. Giving
"newbies" a _COMMON_ working enviroment also makes it easier for them
to share there experience with others. It' doesn't take away any of the
options of changing it once they learn how. A very possible benefit of
twm. but anyway
rob.
a.k.a chmod on #freebsd on the undernet
