BSD is a GUI OS for me. ;-) (I'm typing this from within X11...) It should be fairly good for your purpose, but ``better'' depends on your expectations. If you feel that moving icons around is better, than BSD won't be what you expect. A lot of configuration is maintained in numerous text files, so a good text editor is one of the most required tools when getting things set up. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
