I like those ideas, but o don't know how i can fit stepmania into that.
Im sure it can be done and i should try to, but i dont have much experience with any other OS besides Os X and windows.
If someone is willing to help me out im willing to give it a try.
EDIT: oh, and thanks for all the suggestion!
EDIT2: I installed FreeBSD 6.1 last night and i cant get kdm to come up and i dont know how to do all the things you suggested...
