I dont' really go for "double click me to launch me" so KDE/GNOME I dont' need them, too slow/big footprint. If I need an X app I type it's name in xterma nd open it like that. If you are a GUI person I suggest KDE, if more of a CLI person I suggest a very small windowmanager such as afterstep/windowmaker and the like. --- www.nul.cjb.net --- The Power to Crash --- www.FreeBSD.org --- The Power to Serve -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Nate Puri Sent: Friday, October 27, 2000 3:33 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Satisfied w/ your desktop? Hi all, I have a question for ya. In light of using the highly integrated Windows desktop or the Mac OS X desktop, what configurations for FBSD do you use that are comparable? I'm trying a lot of different stuff now. XFce, KDE1, KDE2, GNOME, Afterstep, WindowMaker, BlackBox and a combination of apps that are better than 1.x. I've tried them all. I'd just like to hear thoughts on what people use who have used their configuration for a long time now without switching.
