Recently at work we were finally able to move our windows based business software onto a terminal server for everyone to access. This allowed us to setup a FreeBSD GNOME application server, which everyone (eight client systems) in our office now uses as their default desktop system. None of the users are advanced computer users - quite the opposite actually. A fellow employee has also been running FreeBSD GNOME for a year now. Only help needed has been to install Flash, and figure out how to empty his trash in Evolution. On a personal note, I just finished installing FreeBSD and GNOME onto my friend's family computer. It's a little slow, but at least it's GNOME! Anyway, hopefully this wasn't too corny! ;-) Thanks FreeBSD GNOME Team! James
