I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it might be useful in labs where CDE is already being used. For example, the lab I work in has several Sun Ultra10's and an Ultra5 - and most people use CDE (I'm the only holdout - I use OpenWindows). If you hid the CPU, perhaps you could fool people into believing they were really running Solaris... ;) Not that it matters, I like BlackBox for a number of reasons. Speed is nice, but my machines are all fairly speedy on their own - even under KDE or gnome. No, I prefer the clean visual appeal of it. No toolbars, silly icons or other extraneous crap getting in my way. After all, 90% of the stuff done on my BSD machines involve xterms anyway.
