I still use the same desktop and window manager I have for the past 8 years (which means not GNOME or KDE) so I'm not giving favors to either -- but we cannot ignore that these are the two most popular desktops today. W/o the added functionality those two give over my own CTWM, we cannot attract and please those of the M$ generation. Maybe I should be saying it simpler -- that getting KDE and GNOME installed from get go *is* a basic install today. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
