I'm a newbie at UNIX so please forgive my lack of knowledge here: What is the difference between the commands 'X', 'xinit' and 'startx'? I get some strange results: X - my system begins to load X windows and hangs on the gray screen before any actual windows appear. xinit - opens one borderless windows that appears to function fine startx - this is what I was looking for and just found it tonight thanks to a post on this list. Would this be considered Motif? Incidentally, I think FreeBSD is a great product! I had no trouble with the installation. I didn't even have the CD! The support available through www.freebsd.org and these lists are amazing! Great job everyone!
