> Install KDE and/or gnome. Your call. I'm new to FreeBSD myself, having used blackbox window manager on a P133 with 48MB of RAM. Though it's not impossible, with only 16MB or RAM, GNOME or KDE would probably be pushing it; you'd be using your swap slice continuously. I recommend blackbox, though it's not as full-featured as the above. However, it's quite easy to set up. As for email, I've heard Evolution is nice (I'm anticipating Thunderbird from the Mozilla Phoenix team). As for web browsers, Phoenix or Galeon are best. File manager... I don't know.
