I'm looking for some advice from some of the pro's here. I've set up FreeBSD on one of my servers, and I have a nice 24" 1920x1200 monitor plugged into it. It seems a shame to be wasting such a decent monitor on a simple black and white terminal, so I've been contemplating installing XOrg on the server to get a bit of extra functionality from the terminals. I'm not thinking KDE or Gnome... just a simple window manager like one of the *box's or even just straight up xdm running terminals and maybe some basic GUI tools like a text editor/file manager. Should I be concerned about any security implications from using XOrg? Are there any reasons why I definitely should avoid installing XOrg? - Logan
