Some updates about the GUI experiments on netbsd. I tried several ways of GUI provided by netbsd, (including xwindow, xdm, xfce4, gnome and kde) At first, i run xwindow and xdm successfully, but the experience of using them seems kind of raw. then I tried gnome and kde4, they have some problems in installing (installing package by pkg_add or pkgin reports packages cannot be found, and making them from sources generates several errors.), finally I switched to xfce4, which provides similar gui with gnome and kde, and has better experience than xwindows and xdm, now I can edit some files easily in GUI. I have attached a picture of my laptop, which runs netbsd in xfce4 in virtualbox. 2016-04-28 10:23 GMT-07:00 Charles Cui <charles.cui1984%gmail.com@localhost>: > thanks guys for all your advices!
