I am replying to this email on a FreeBSD 10.3 box and Motif. I don't
know what FreeBSD runs out of the box because I immediately delete it
and install Motif.
FreeBSD doesn't run *any* graphical user interface out of the box.
What you end up with after install of the FreeBSD OS is a console with
a login prompt.
As any _real_ operating system should be, IMNSHO.
After you have logged in, you can (of course) install Xorg and your
selection of desktop environments (or a wm + extras if you prefer
that) via the package system (or ports, if you prefer to wait for
compiling from source).
FreeBSD may not have the installed base of Linux
but it has a its fans.
Yes, this workstation runs FreeBSD 10.4 and Xfce.
