It must be as easy to install. To be sure all my FreeBSD machines are cli only at the moment, but when I did try to install a Windows manager once it was no intuitive or easy process. Some of the Linux distributions are getting good at this now, and Solaris, but there's work to be done here in the FreeBSD releases - at least to 3.1 which is as far as I have got. mvh/regards James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
