LXDE & Xorg

[m1975Michael]

I would like to run LXDE but I am not sure what I need to install first as I am almost sure there are some dependencies. I am new to BSD so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly.

Install x11/xorg and x11/lxde-meta. Any dependencies will be installed automatically.

Thank you for that information. Should I install based on package or compiling? Which is better? What are the differences?

The second section of that link compares packages and ports.
