    What exactly should your desktop machine be able to do?
    (I guess you are looking for graphical user enviroment like gnome
    or kde, but there are dozens of possiblities in the ports tree.
    And, if you like you also can do many things from the command line
    using troff, vi, mail, lynx, mc and friends)
