You can also install neither, and just run a window manager. If you're used to a command line, you might prefer an environment that's not cluttered by lots icons that need to be explained, or needing to learn a new language to configure the thing. There are number of small, fast window managers in the x11-wm ports tree. I personally chose lwm, but that may not be for you. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
