I need a GUI

G

Galvatron

Can some one help me get X up an running so I can have a GUI. I have tried to install gnome 2 with error messages and kde with error messages :(
 
Thanks for your help

Dear sir or mam, yes, I am new to FreeBSD but not to Nix. I use Linux as my main OS. I still don't know all commands. I have been faithful since RedHat 8.0. I use CentOS now, seeing how its free and no need to pay for the OS. But I wanted to compare Linux and Unix. This is just one of all errors I keep getting.
Code: 
***Error code 1
pkg_add -r xorg gives me this argument
Code: 
Error: Unable to get [url]ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.0-release/Latest/xorg.tbr:[/url] File unavailable.
pkg_add: unable to fetch

Its because You did not configured network.

Do Yourself a favor and try PC-BSD which is FreeBSD with graphical installer and several GUIs to choose from, like GNOME2, KDE4, XFCE4 and LXDE.

PC-BSD is not a fork or clone of FreeBSD. PC-BSD takes FreeBSD and adds graphical installer and GUIs to the FreeBSD.

Its available at http://pcbsd.org site.
