Another window manager
Another window manager
Hello people.
I've tried Gnome and KDE but both are not excactly what I want.
I like the nice artwork but functionality is more inportant for me.
Google gave me a lot of alternatives but it doesn't make my choise any easier.
What would you people recommend and why?

Window Managers
If you want to see the possibilities go to www.lynucs.org. It is a site with nothing but screenshots of linux and bsd desktops. It has every window manager you could think of plus some you may have not heard off. Plus many apps.
That should give you some ideas.

I'm one of the 35 or 45 people in the world who use UDE/UWM, though currently I'm sitting in KDE. I think most people think UDE is ugly, but I like the simplicity and find it to be elegant.
I like XFce, and have gone through a couple fluxbox phases. I don't have the patience to go through some of the configuration necessary to make any of these WMs and DEs pretty, so I either go with GNOME/KDE when I want a full GUI, and UDE when I want pure simplicity.

fluxbox is my choice. Mostly because of its speed, but also cause it can be made very pretty. And I think that kde is just ugly.

I like Xfce. It runs smoothly on my "classic" computer, yet still offers decent appearance and basic configuration options.
I personaly use XFCE4.2 Beta 1, and everything goes well... XFCE is a desktop environment, juste like GNOME or KDE, but it runs faster than these two ones...
At this time, Sarge only provides XFCE4.0, but you can get XFCE4.2 (which is different in some points) from the XFCE ftp...
Juste have a look here : http://www.xfce.org
And here for the debian packages : http://www.os-cillation.com/article.php?sid=37
