G.Jason Middleton, You are going to get a ton of opinions. So, let me offer mine. I played with KDE and gnome for a while, both kept locking up on my AMD k6-2 350 with 128 megs RAM. So I ventured over to WindowMaker. It is nothing like M$ Windows and runs great. And it is KDE compatible. (though I have not tested this fully yet, still plying with the tons of WindowMaker DockApps) So, me personally, try WindowMaker. you can see what it looks like at: http://www.windowmaker.org/screenshots.html & http://wm.themes.org/ Ronnie Clark A+, MCSE, CCSA, CCSE -----Original Message----- From: G.

I am installing kde2 from the ports...(i just cvs'ed the ports) so it is installing 2.1.1..... whatever. I am running an amd 266 with 128 megs of ram. It has been installing for the past 2 hours!! Anyway can anyone make a good recommendation as to which window man i should use? GNOME KDE??? I am trying to get completely away from win2k/98. I use my machine for MP3's cd-burning, and just regualr run-of-the-mill crap...Word Processing Access...etc etc....and random admin crap. so the final question is which window manager would be the best for me?
