YEAY, I loved DesktopBSD back when it was actively developed and updated. I've never used a BSD desktop environment since that I liked as well, and not many Linux desktop either.

Here's hoping that all goes well with your/this project.

multiple window managers
As I recall, DesktopBSD came pre-installed with multiple windows managers and that you could select whichever you wanted from the login screen. I loved that feature and hope that it will be implemented in the new iterations of DesktopBSD.

Hi gor0

I could burn you a few dvds and mail them to you. I believe there's a way to private message here but I havn't found that out yet.

Hi gor0,

No I'm not a developer. I just enjoy OSS and it's always good to be familiar with a few OSs.


Once 2 is out, if yo need a copy let me know.

Somewhere in MY LQ there is information. You will not be able to PMs, until you have, I believe, 100 posts.

I have use the BSDees for many years & still do & DeskTopBSD is still the one BSD I have had the most success with,it was a shame to see it close,I think Rofreesbie was another great BSD that closed.

Distrowatch isn't always up-to-date.
