Hi all,

I'm considering purchasing a commercial X-server on top of which I would
like to run some form of CDE (as in http://www.opengroup.org/desktop/).
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
