I'm using kahakai as the window manager...the terminal you see is Eterm and the nifty tool on the right you see if gkrellm (with a bunch of plugins I emerged and skins from the gkrellm site). on the bottom right is the nice and shaded xmms. The backgrounds I got from deviantart and the IRC app you see there is XChat. Also, shaded in the upper left is gaim.
On the bottom of gkrellm are the apps I use most often. Enjoy! _________________ while(true) {self.input(sugar);} |

as you seem to want a "point and click interface" you'll probably prefer kde or gnome. |

just a warning for kde...if you install that it'll take a week for it to compile
just a friendly warning _________________ while(true) {self.input(sugar);} |

you'll need xfree to get you going, then emerge your chosen window manager. fluxbox seems to be quite popular, and I can recommend kahakai too as it has sweet transparency hehe
i like gnome myself, and since 2.4 has just been released i think it's worth a try. one tip though is...
Code: | emerge -p gnome > gnome-install.log |
...to get a list of the files it would install so you can unmerge them again if you decide you don't want it. unmerging gnome (or kde) and all it's related apps is a chore unless you know *exactly* what it installed in the first place
run rabbit run:
Code: |
emerge xfree
emerge gnome

You are going to need to be a lot more specific as to the problem.
You say "internet isn't working" - can you browse the web? Can you post to the forums? If so, run that emerge xfree. If not, let us know and we can troubleshoot that.
