If you don't like config files. I recommend either windowmaker (if you do like icon clicking), or icewm (if you don't care about icons). Both are very fash. Icewm is faster, but windowmaker is more featureful. I've run it in 486s w/ 16M RAM. But is was a tad slow. If you are approaching 32M RAM I would try windowmaker and icewm and see which one you like best. There are faster window managers, but none look as nice or are as featureful as these sans config file headaches. good luck... -nate > -- > Ray Kohler > FreeBSD -- The Power to Serve > Never tell a lie unless it is absolutely convenient. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
