Does anyone know of any commercial (or free) port of CDE to FreeBSD? I know that Xi Graphics makes a Linux-only program called DeXtop and is CDE and OpenMotif bundled together for $49.95. Is there anything similar for FreeBSD? Will this software work under FreeBSD using Linux emulation? I've used CDE on Unix machines before and really like the interface. I am in no way against solutions like Gnome or KDE, but I think for ~$50, a rock-solid CDE is what I'm after. However, I refuse to switch to linux just for the desktop... Any help would be appreciated. I'm running FreeBSD 4.1 Stable: FreeBSD quantum.144 4.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE #0: Sun Jul 30 19:49:34 EDT 2000 root@quantum.144:/usr/src/sys/compile/QUANTUM i386 Thanks, Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
