Screenshots Xwindows

This is screenshots of various X11 Windows Environment/Windows Manager on my FreeBSD Desktop System. I installed three environments, GNOME, KDE and the XFce4.

Installing X Windows System on FreeBSD

FreeBSD has always been my operating system of choice for servers but I never use them on the desktop. This time I decided to install FreeBSD 5.3 for desktop since I don’t want to spend money to buy a license of Windows operating system from Microsoft.

FreeBSD supports two X11 servers, the XFree86 and the Xorg. As of FreeBSD 5.3, Xorg became the default X Server on FreeBSD. So, I will be using Xorg on this guide instead of XFree86.
