Charette, You can install such a fancy-awesome-super-mega-bloated metaport as Gnome or KDE. There's KDE-2 (Beta version) available, too; actually, I haven't tried it on 3-STABLE yet. Also, you might want to have a look at the webmin port (GUI for System Administration), found in /usr/ports/sysutils/webmin. IMO, you should first read a little material from the docs (e.g. handbook) before using the program. You are NOT supposed to walk blindfold in a Unix system :-) In order to avoid any problems with ports under 3.3, you should install the "upgrade kit" for ports (found in /usr/ports/misc/34upgrade), which works for 3.3. and 3.4 systems. As an aside, I would suggest upgrading to 3-STABLE as soon as you can; better yet, I would suggest using the relatively recent 4-STABLE. It is reported to behave quite well -- N.B. **exceptionally** well for a 4.0 line (!)
