Dan,

An interesting page addressing this can be found here: 
http://www.plig.org/xwinman/

It's less of a review page than simply an overview of the various window 
managers and desktop environments that are available. It provides some 
basic information about them and most even have screenshots, so you can get 
an idea as to how each of them is organized and designed. By my count there 
are over 60 window managers on this list, some of which are now defunct.

Taste in window managers and desktops is something that is HIGHLY 
individualized. Gnome and KDE are probably the two most popular, but that 
doesn't mean they're "the best." The one you choose depends on the work you 
do and how you want to go about doing it.


>Will you also write which one you like the most? and maybe why?

I'm still deciding. :)

         Matt
