----- Original Message ----- > IMO, BSD/Linux don't have a cool desktop because no one has written one > yet. But I think we will get there yet. While I like CDE in a sort of nostalgic way (thinking back to the days at school...) I must say that KDE 2 is really getting places! I built it on my Slackware box some weeks ago, and it is very good indeed. The graphics are well done - not too much, but just enough - it is rather stable and all-in-all a very nice environment to work in. I just got it precompiled for FreeBSD the other day, so I'm going to install it on the big box soon :) I used to be (well... "am") a die-hard fvwm fan, but KDE feels like a good-looking windows desktop now - it feels like a desktop you just sit down at to do some work. I think "natural" is the word I'm looking for here. -Fredrik To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
