Hi.

I have a few old ThinkPads here, and I'd like to explore getting OpenBSD
running as a lightweight desktop computer.

I don't need a lot, I spend most of my time at a shell prompt, but I'm
thinking I need a better window manager, possibly Firefox (or a recommended
lightweight alternative) and any invaluable X-based utilities.

I've had trouble getting the laptop connected to my local WiFi network,
despite having compatible cards and a straightforward security config (WPA2),
despite having followed the documentation.  If there's a
network-connection-manager GUI available, that would be nice, but isn't
essential.

I know how to install things via the ports, but traversing the directory
structure to find useful packages is painful.  If there's a more friendly way
to search for and discover new/interesting ports packages, I'd appreciate a
link.

Thanks.
