Your Linux Computer Can Support A Different Window Manager!
,----[ Quote ]
| This may be obvious because many of you have probably seen screenshots of a
| Linux distribution. But some of you may face fear of having to use a
| distribution because the window manager makes everything look confusing.
| Well, you don't have to use the default window manager. There are several
| alternatives that can make your desktop look snazzy and less puzzling. These
| are just a few of the many that are out there!

| In the 10 years I've been using Linux, I've run the gamut of window managers

| GNOME, Beryl, Fluxbox, CDE, XFCE, Windowmaker, Sawfish, Metacity, WM2, as
| well as Compiz.

E17 -- Desktop Enlightenment
,----[ Quote ]
| You need to install E17 in order to fully appreciate the magnificent
| work of the programmers. The direction of changes is very good -- e17
| delivers a nice-looking desktop with many special effects, being easy
| and lightweight at the same time. When compared to its predecessor
| -- e16 -- it shows that the desktop personalization and new effects
| do not have to trigger additional hardware purchases. I only wish Ic
| ould say the same about GNOME and KDE. Also, I have to say that I
| wish the Microsoft products were as stable and functional as e17
| in alpha phase.

A weekend with fluxbox.
,----[ Quote ]
| My biggest problem with using fluxbox is not fluxbox itself. I wanted it to
| be able to save some resources for my aging computer but I still needed to
| use KDE programs. So I checked my resource usage with pure KDE and then with
| fluxbox and KDE programs. There was no difference in resource usage.

Fluxbox on Gutsy, just to be different

| Just for giggles, I installed Fluxbox on Gutsy today ... which isn't
| really very daring, since the repositories have only been open for
