I am happy with a single xterm window running screen in blackbox or windowmaker, and a few netscapes lying around. Since I am not the 'typical' computer user though, I could not agree more with what is said below. > but if a windows person asks me about using FreeBSD for a personal > computer KDE is the one I am going to show them When a user that comes from Windows or similar environments asks me, KDE is what I recommend too. But I also take care to note that if what they want is not to 'learn the way FreeBSD works, but make it more and more like what their Windows used to be', that they might as well stick with Windows, if that suits their needs/desires better. - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
