 Tobias, I completely disagree here, and I do not think i am alone. A
 mobile device, whether it be a laptop or a PDA, depends on an efficient
 and easy to use windowmanager (if a graphical interface going to be 
 used at all). 

 If I am wrong, and this list is *not* intended for people to share their
 experiences using FreeBSD on mobile devices, then I will concede and
 un-subscribe from this list.

 In the future, I would appreciate you keeping your opinions to the list
 and not sending them to me in a personal email.
