FreeBSD and jwm

I tried it out for a bit on my FreeBSD VM. I've since switched that back to TWM. I found JWM to be in a strange place between the manual setup of TWM and some of the automatic configuration of more featured desktop environments like XFCE.

Thread 'HOWTO: JWM Configuration'

HOWTO: JWM Basic Configuration

This is a very light, extremely fast window manager, one of my favorites. Uses 3 MB RAM.

First thing I do is copy the global config file /usr/local/etc/system.jwmrc to my /home. You are NOT allowed to edit the global file.

$ cp /usr/local/etc/system.jwmrc .jwmrc

So, from now on I can access this file as USER. $ nano .jwmrc

We're faced with a long config file but the good news is that there is only one file :)

Note that the window manager is very configurable and this is a subjective matter, what is good for me, is not...

They are incipient configurations of users who are just starting to understand like me, which does not help to an exlent and defined configuration with its icons in the menu, with its icons in the taskbar, or visualizations of hardware icons such as wireless network, battery, audio speaker icon.
