Good riddance.  This is FreeBSD, no reason to have your new server
look like every other Linux box brought online.  If your going to make
it easy to put a window manager on for the newbies, pick something that's
going to definitely make them say "hoo boy! I ain't in Kansas anymore!"
such as
Enlightenment.
