I'd vote for the inclusion of le and making it the default editor. It is simple and IMHO all one could need for editing config files and the like. It is also DEAD simple to use for the beginner. You would also need emacs for serious editing, of course. I'd prefer the slightly more up-market links to lynx. You also seem to be missing burncd (we aren't all equipped with SCSI burners) Although a gnome option is reasonable, I'd stick with KDE as the default. Somehow it seems to be the more complete of the two. When I had Gnome running I invariably had the KDE apps as my preferences. If I think of more - then more will come :-) -- Regards, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
