Intro to XFCE: http://www.xfce.org/index.php?page=3Doverview&lang=3Den Here are some flash based demos: http://www.xfce.org/various/flash_demos.html The XFCE meta port is in x11-wm/xfce4 and don't forget about all the plugins: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=3DXFCE&stype=3Dall After you install the XFCE meta port type in rehash and then startxfce4, if you like it and want to keep it as your default desktop environment type in "echo "/usr/X11R6/bin/startxfce4" > ~/.xinitrc". the FreeBSD handbook as a bit about XFCE in section 5.7.4 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html I use KDE on my fast systems and XFCE on the slow ones.
