so can i just ask, is portmaster or another port upgrading tool recommended
over portupgrade now because i'm going to be upgrading all my ports soon and
in the 18 months i've been using FreeBSD i've always used portupgrade but
sounds like it's best to change now.

My advice would be to set up postfix with Dovecot imap. Both are well
documented and, I find, they work well together. Both are fairly straight

or you could just use the original vi that comes with the base system if you
just want a console editor.

... just to quickly add, X installs a simple window manager called twm. Just to
test further, before installing another window manager/desktop put exec twm in
your .xinitrc file. That 'should' start twm. Then you know it's working and can
then install the Window Manager or Desktop you want.
