Hello all, I'm even more of a newbie than most on this mailing list, so forgive my ignorance. I'm trying to switch from W2k to FreeBSD, so I need to get a few integral pieces working, and I'll figure out the details later. I've been looking at the ports listing, and found a few DVD players - mplayer, kplayer, and ogle. Any recommendations on what to use? Kplayer says it is for use with KDE, but I can't remember what window manager I am using. How do I check that out? And also, how do I download the ports to my machine? I've found documentation on pkg_add stuff, but I'm still feeling tentative about it. And will the ports integrate themselves into the window manager automatically after I download them, or do I need to set that up as well? A brief summary: 1) Any recommendations on what dvd player to use? 2) How do I find out what window manager I am using? 3) How do I download ports to my machine? 4) Will the ports integrate themselves into the window manager automatically after I download them? Thanks in advance for any help, I really appreciate it. ~ Erichome | help
