FreeBSD don't do any tricks at all, it's quite boring as a matter of fact, because it works. No blue screens to spice up ones life. :-) > what x-window manager should I use?

There are more light weight window managers that use less resources than these two wm's. Mybe not as nice looking, but working. > what should I use for web browser? If the pages they surf are only internal, i.e. they can not surf to pages which requires plugins, advanced HTML (not supported by all browsers) and such, you should go for a light weight browser, i.e. not mozilla. Some people on the list have mentioned Phoenix, saying it's a non-bloated browser if my memory serves me correct. Good luck!
