Actually, I'm not really sure about that too :P Probably why it appeals to me so much-- it's something new to try out. And KDE's great and all, but sometimes I feel it's too busy with buttons and menus (mainly because of me), and most of all, because it popped up in my life already complex. This time I'd like to start simple, then just add features along the way. Also, that way I'd understand my desktop from the inside out. > as orly says, if you generally need to work with just lots of > terminals, then almost any WM will do While the Really Important Stuff are mostly done using terminals, I'd like a complete desktop, with the menus and gui things I need within easy access, all the while still being lightweight. And of course, for that desktop look that's my own ;) > there are now so many programs in a regular linux desktop > or development system that i just couldn't remember them all, even > when my memory was better. so i need the prompting.
