FreeBSD uses X-Windows to create graphics screens and windows. The current X-windows system used in FreeBSD is called X.org. You may have installed this during the regular installation if you selected that option, so it might already be there and just needs starting. If not you will have to install it. The FreeBSD Handbook covers this quite extensively. Go to: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html As for which window manager you use, it is really a matter of taste and what you want to accomplish. I use AfterStep because it gives me good working screens and handles all the utilities I need to run without a lot of extra garbage or bloat. Some people prefer KDE or Gnome or others. You might, over time, want to experiment with each of the main ones to get your own ideas. Then you will need to learn something about running under UNIX. It is quite different than a Microsloth system or a MAC. You have your hands right on the system in FreeBSD and it makes very few assumptions for you. You need to decide what you want to do and then install and run the things you want.There are many books on using UNIX. But, start with the FreeBSD Handbook that is online. On useful section might be: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/basics.html and another: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/common-tasks.html There is no magic about learning FreeBSD. You just have to read a lot and try out everything. You should give yourself time to experiment with it as that will be the best way to learn. Once you get the hang of it, you will begin to discover the magic that is inside of FreeBSD. jerry i am a new user to bsd i will be very thankful to u if u help me plz... contact me as soon as possible plz...
