hm, I haven't tried 15.0 by now, but with 14.2 Release, I just had to add
a few packages to add X11, twm and so to the box, had to decomment a
line in /etc/ttys, pimp the /usr/local/etc/X11/xdm/X[setup_0,Xresources]
to have a company backgroundimage an a logo on the login managers screen.
As for those that prefer cde, I followed
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/setting-up-common-desktop-environment-for-modern-use.69475/
and of course, the right graphics driver, that always is a battle on FreeBSD.
Would be nice if graphics in FreeBSD would work as flawlessly as it does
on OpenIndiana:)

Did I miss anything out there?
