On a more serious note though: yes, Enlightenment is in ports: x11-wm/enlightenment. Install FreeBSD, install X (see the handbook), then install Enlightenment.

It's a bit too resource-hungry for my taste, but I know it looks good and even works. I've used it in the past.

Good luck,

Fonz

No, that's not true. There are however features in the new Gnome that will not work. This is mainly due to Gnome's dependency on the Linux specific udev.

Well, it seems that the composite module cannot be loaded on Enlightenment, which means we aren't able to enjoy true transparency and shadow now. :)

So, I tried E17 several days ago with the following errors shown when I try to load the "composite" module:

Code: 
Your X Display does not support the XComposite extension or Ecore was built without XComposite support. Note 
that for composite support you will also need XRender and XFixes support in X11 and Ecore.

However, I can enjoy composite effect in Xfce and KDE without any problem yet.:beer
