ive been a KDE user for as long as i can remember. this week, im off from work, and want to spend some time trying something new with my laptop. so far i have it built with 6.2-RELEASE-p2, and xorg up to the minimal desktop.

id like to try to try something thats not gnome, or basically id like to try some of the lesser known, but still just as functional desktops.

can i get some recommendations, as well as what graphical mail reader and web browser works best with your recommendation?

thanks,
jonathan

Jonathan;

Take a look at WindowMaker, or BlackBox if you want to get real minimal. Both are excellent window managers (not desktops) and can be found in ports. Firefox, Thunderbird, and all the rest work just fine.

Jonathan,

I have used XFCE 3.* on all my free BSD boxes for years. It is a Simple GUI which I use on any Desktops I build. The video is clear and is simple. ( XFCE4* I did not like the concept.) Emails etc all work and install easily from ports.
