--tKW2IUtsqtDRztdT Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Christian, As far as tiling window managers go I highly recommend Scrotwm [x11-wm/scrotwm]. The configuration is straight forward and getting it up a= nd running is a breeze. I have been happily using it for the past few years and I don't see myself going back. Just keep in mind there aren't any bells and whistles included, just how a WM should be :D Good luck, Aaron On 9:12:14PM, Christian Barthel <bc@nyx.user-mode.org> wrote: > Hello,=20 > I read on slashdot that Linus Torvalds moved from Gnome 2.3x to Xfce.
