Hi,

there is much more, you are bound to find a window manager that you
like!

Take a look at http://xwinman.org/ to get an overview of what's
available. Most (if not all) of the window managers there are available
for FreeBSD, except some under "others".

Since you say you'd be fine with the default window manager I think you
will like one of the "lighter" ones, take a look at fluxbox - it's a
great window manager!

Good luck!
