<div>==Setting up a workstation==<br />
See our [[Complete_Workstation]] write-up on how to get a desktop system up and running.<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
<br />
You can get these by [[Installing ports]] or by [[Installing packages]]<br />
<br />
==Web Browsing==<br />
<br />
[[Firefox]], [[Mozilla]], links, [[lynx]], [[dillo]], Opera.<br />
<br />
Since 05 Nov 2005 06:04:48 the Development Branch of Firefox is also included in the Ports Tree under <i>/usr/ports/www/firefox-devel</i>.<br />
<br />
==Email==<br />
<br />
Thunderbird, Mozilla Mail, mutt, sylpheed, pine<br />
<br />
==Multimedia==<br />
Note that to get sound working under FreeBSD, you'll need to enable your [[sound card]]<br />
<br />
beep-media-player, [[xmms]], [[Mplayer]], [[helix]], [[realplayer]], [[VLC]], [[amarok]]<br />
<br />
==CD burning and ripping==<br />
<br />
[[X-CDRoast]], cdrtools [burncd], [[k3b]], [[grip]]<br />
<br />
If you get any errors along the lines of "can't access /dev/acd0" from one of your CD reading/writing applications, your problem is probably the permissions on /dev/acd0 (or whatever your device is). A quick<br />
chmod 644 /dev/acd0<br />
will probably fix it.<br />
<br />
==Productivity==<br />
<br />
[[OpenOffice.org]] (requires [[Java]]), AbiWord (no Java required), xpdf, evince (also does pdf)<br />
<br />
