Of course. :-) I haven't done a fresh FreeBSD install for a while, but I'm pretty sure the installation routine will prompt you for a choice of window manager (e.g. KDE, GNOME, Enlightenment, and so on). Not all the window managers are listed there, so feel free to look in the "x11-wm" category of the ports collection for more. More information on the ports collection is at . Each individual port should have link to that port's main web page (e.g. tells you a lot more about KDE, a very popular window manager). -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
