Let me not make it boring I will get straight to t= he point. =20 I have read in FreeBSD documentation=2C while comparing with the Linux kern= el we claim FreeBSD to be a complete operating system which provides not ju= st the kernel but also other utilies surrounding the kernel making it a com= plete operating system. My question is "Why doesn't FreeBSD have it's own desktop environment" some= thing like what Ubuntu Linux is trying to achieve with their Unity Desktop = environment. In doing so we will carve a niche for ourselves in the end user space. =20 What does the forum have to say about this? =20 Regards=2C Alwin =
