Windows/MS equivalent (KDE, other window managers?)

[edit] SSH Info
To allow a secure shell connection into your PC-BSD/FreeBSD machine:
Create an exception for the firewall:
- Open the PC-BSD Control Panel
- Open the 'Firewall Manager'
- Select the 'Exceptions' tab
- Click the 'Add Entry' button
- Select 'ssh' from the 'service' dropdown which will auto-fill the port with 22
- Adjust the interface to match your network device.
- Select the 'general' tab
- Click the 'restart' button
Enable the secure shell daemon
- Open the PC-BSD Control Panel
- Open the 'Service Manager'
- Scroll down the list to 'sshd'
- Click 'sshd'
- Click the 'Enable Service' button
- Click the 'start' button
- Scroll down the list to 'sshd'
To access your machine, from a shell prompt type: ssh <ip>
It will assume the current user account exists on the remote (your) machine.
