I've tried to read, follow, and re-read the steps, but I'm not still getting any popular window manager up and running on my FreeBSD servers. Meanwhile new hires are seduced by the comes-with-it windows manager via Ubuntu Desktop (yes, they abstained from the server edition because they really wanted the GUI). If there is a kind soul who is willing to guide me through via IM (MSN/ Yahoo/ Skype), I'd much appreciate it. Please don't flame me for this email! Thanks.
