On a T410 I use * dwm - window manager * vim - text editor * chrome - web browser * mpd - music * mpv - video Most of the time I find myself using ssh into remote hosts, or temporary vagrant instances on my FreeBSD host since I am doing environment specific work. FreeBSD has Libreoffice and Chrome/FireFox or is there a specific program you like to use? My only complaint about FreeBSD laptop right now is the lack of a network manager. I know there is the PCBSD one, but I don't want to pull in a bunch of stuff that I have to worry about keeping up to date. I really would like something like wicd-cli, I should just write it myself. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
