Are you asking me? I'm on a very old laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 (I think), 500Mhz Celeron. I tried a myriad different wm's, but none of them really were what I was searching for (but they worked all). I didn't try KDE/Gnome, because my old laptop would not be able to handle them, and have functionality I'm not looking for. While enlightenment-devel still has its bugs (for instance 'lock screen' really does, it won't accept any password as valid - but it doesn't hang) it's fast, small, cool :-) Peter -- http://www.boosten.org
