Some of the most impressive screenshots that I have personally seen have been on the webpages of various Window Managers: www.enlightenment.org (enlightenment wm) www.afterstep.org (afterstep) www.kde.org (the K Desktop environment) in their screenshots gallieries. While most of these screenshots were taken on Linux boxen, its still just XFree86 that they are running, and I have been able to achieve similar on my FreeBSD box. But some of those look real pretty, and make just as great of an argument for us as they do for the linux people, maybe even a better one :) -Irving On Sat, 18 Apr 1998, Adrian T.
