Installing KDE on OpenBSD 5.2
I mostly use openbsd for fire walling/routing but I am liking this OS so much I want to also run it on my desktop.
Last night I went looking for a tutorial on how to install KDE but most everything was out of date. My main question is, how do know which kde packages to install from this list? http://mirror.esc7.net/pub/OpenBSD/5.2/packages/i386/ is there one file that i can download and install? Thanks in advance |

If you are coming from linux or FreeBSD you may want to want to research the available desktops in OpenBSD. Although KDE4 is seeing some developmental activity, KDE 3 is what you will get in OpenBSD 5.2.
Gnome is fairly up to date thanks to a herculean effort by one of the main OpenBSD developers. Another developer is on the XFCE4 team. Quote:
Between Gnome/XFCE I have a sense that XFCE4 has the edge in upstream code quality. I usually like to do the install in the default fvwm window manager with a couple of xterms open. You will get install messages to set soft links in python, enable some services (dbus and avahi) and it is nice to copy/paste some of the commands after reading the documentation.
