I am actually not looking for a Windows look alike. I am simply
replacing my XP system with a BSD solution. I am looking for a fast

enlightenment and fluxbox. but there are just so many I was hoping to
get ideas as to why one would choose one over the other. Other then
personal preference. I have been using enlightenment for about a week
and perhaps it is something I did but my resolution is stuck at
1600x1280 at 65Hz. My monitor keeps getting mad at me and telling me
that is not the recommended solution. I have been trying to figure out
how to change it and I have updated the xorg.conf as the handbook says
but it still defaults. Unless anyone has an idea why I am going to
switch to fluxbox and see how that feels.
I did want to mention that I do agree with your point. I am looking
for something new and I am looking to experiment with other ways of
doing things. But at the same time I would like a little eye candy.
After all with today's power full systems there is nothing wrong with
waisting a few CPU cycles to make the experience a little more
enjoyable.
I will certainly give XFCE a try I have seen allot of recommendations
for that as well.
Sincerely,
