I use them each on their own. I've found things get convoluded when you
start running things like IceWM while running Gnome and the like. another
one of the nice things about Linux these days. You have the choice of
running these WM's all on their own, or using parts of them in another
desktop environment. The more I learn about Linux the more I love it. Ive
almost got my supervisor convinced to change the workstations at work over
to Linux. In a few days we're going to load the head CPA's laptop with
Mandrake 7.1 to see how he likes it, and we're loading a few of the old
workstations to use as servers. It's not much, but it's a start.
