I finally have XFree86 working, at least to the point that I can type "X" and get the expected grid and "X" mouse cursor. That in itself doesn't seem very useful, but it works. As a learning exercise, which Desktop environment should I install as a first effort, and how do I run it? I'm referring to the FreeBSD Handbook at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html Desktop Environments I intend to install Mozilla as a browser, in case that makes any difference. Also, what is the mechanism that interprets the "X" command to run XFree86?
