If you're going to run Gnome, I'd suggest using Helix-Gnome (on Woody) and the version of Sawfish that comes with it. Sawfish is really bare-bones in some ways, but Gnome handles everything else quite well. Sawfish is very extensible and programmable in Lisp, which is a big selling point for me. This is what I use now. Without using Gnome, I'd suggest WindowMaker. I used it for quite a while, too. Enlightenment can really use up CPU cycles, though it's not too bad if you turn off most of the eye-candy (in which case, why use it?). Gnome+Enlightenment is so slow starting up I almost thought I must've accidently booted into my Windows NT4 partition... I'm afraid I don't know much about the others available. Larry
