[nycbug-talk] BSD on a desktop

[G.Rosamond]

I'm working on a outline of making FreeBSD a useful desktop.  It's 
aimed at those who have told me face-to-face so many times that they'd 
love to try out a BSD, but have so many basic functions that aren't 
fulfilled by BSD on a desktop.

It may become a meaty piece of documentation for our documentation 
project, or maybe a serialized piece in Daemon News, or who knows what. 
. .

I'd appreciate any input anyone has in terms of their favorite X 
packages to run. . .and using which window manager.  I'm not going to 
cover Gnome or KDE environments, but rather focus on XFCE, FVWM, MLVWM, 
WindowMaker, etc. . .

I'd love to hear some input, particularly for those running a BSD 
desktop. . .this includes Dan's love for xplanet, etc. . .useful for 
end-user tasks and/or just fun.

Thanks. . .
