How about you try to install ports/x11-vm/twm, turn your CPU speed down to 20 MHz and get a good feel for how a graphical environment felt 25 years ago, before you make a fool of yourself ? :-) There is no way that FreeBSD is going to annoint a canonical window manager (look that up too!), we've been down that road before and the landscape is ugly and filled with bikesheds. My suggest was 100% serious: Assume X11 _is_ the graphical environment, pick a toolkit which is written to work with any window manager, which all good toolkits are, and move on. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
