Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This weekend I install FreeBSD at home. Up untill this point I sweared by its use as a server platform, I have had great luck with it as a server. but this weekend has been a new experience for me. I got X-win up and going for the first time, compiled in sound support, and got it working as a natd for my home network. Problem is, I cant find much info with running Unix as a desktop OS. If anyone has any suggestions on good books about running Unix as a desktop (things like X tweaking, getting a movie player, etc), I would love to hear them. Thanks.
