I've played with all of them.. XFCE seems to be quick.. I like the looks of Windowmaker but never figured out how to configure it. Not inherently obvious..! And don't have the time to spend on it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael Scottaline Sent: Monday, September 03, 2001 9:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Re: [newbie] Ximian Gnome On Mon, 03 Sep 2001 19:56:54 -0400 Mark Weaver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> insightfully noted: MW> It wasn't that it was hogging the CPU. what was making me crazy was MW> the MW> fact that with 128MB of RAM there were so many processes running MW> taking MW> care of Nautilus and all the others that it started hitting the swap!

That's good, because both of these projects have come up with some good, useful software and programs that are getting better all the time. If hard drive space is not an issue, I say keep both on your system...., but run NEITHER. Use a wm like Windowmaker, Ice, Xfce (really becoming a lightweight environment itself), or my personal favorite, Blackbox. Enlightenment is also a very nice wm, but as wm go it is rather resource hungry in my experience. With any of the wm's you can run the various programs from KDE or Gnome with no problem. [At least I've never had any...., YMMV] Mike -- "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy." --Tom Waits _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
