There is a lot of truth in what Suresh says, you cannot comp- are gnome and KDE with other WMs, these are full environments. Out of the ones I have tried, speed wise, my assessment is: 1. twm 2. fvwm2 / blackbox 3. Window maker/ afterstep/ xfce (without images) 4. xfce (with background images) 5. KDE-1.4 6. gnome 2 Functionality wise, I'll still settle for good old fvwm2 and blackbox, and, for something with a decent amount of bells and whistle ... xfce. You can only assess relative speeds on a low level box (something like P-75 box with 32 mb of ram). With 16 mb ram, KDE and gnome are both out of the race ! Just my 2p :-) Bish -- : ####[ Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]########################### Sub : Deleting dot files LOST #163 Doing a 'rm -f *' within a directory will remove all the files within the directory but NOT invisible DOT (.) files.
