In-Reply-To: <3714C1CD.175944F5@dal.net> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm sure opinions vary a great deal, but here's my 2 cents: KDE - Don't really care for it. Afterstep 1.0 - Nice to start with... featureful but not too cumbersome, pretty easy to configure. Haven't tried the later versions of Afterstep. Windowmaker - Pretty darn nice. Has some GUI configs, nice themes. I'd use it if I weren't running a 486. It just starts to seem a bit slow sometimes, although it's not that bad. Blackbox - minimalistic - nice for a 486. Also worth considering: Enlightenment if you like the Gee Golly Wow effect, and FVWM seems to have quite a following. In general, I'd say try Windowmaker and see how you like it.
