It would be a cool project, but also a HUGE one to undertake. We would be all for including a BSD-Based desktop, but for the long-term I doubt it could have all the features of the various DEs, such as KDE, GNOME, XFCE, LXDE, etc, so that would mean we have to keep offering all of the above in order to not leave anybody out :) -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software iXsystems _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-desktop To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
