 I used IceWM very successfully * I HATE windowsy WM's btw... IE, KDE

 minimalist WM's.  Enlightenment is NOT for the faint of heart, fair 
 warning.  Its is so alien from Windows-type wm's it makes you want to 
 scream if you aren't willing to put in the effort to understand it.  I just 
 jumped in (as usual) with E when I first loaded MDK a year ago. :P

E alien? E not for the faint of heart?
From the first time I used it, I truly thought that it was one of the
most amazing wm's I've ever used! It's more configurable than legos!
But yeah, it does require a bit of editing, tweaking, mucking around -
and you CAN make it look more alien than an alien...but it's sweet-as!

 Hiya! 
 
 I've been using KDE for the past few days and now I feel like I could switch 
 to some other Windowmanager ( I was told KDE isnt the best choice when it 
 comes to speed and reliability ), or at least *try* to do so. I remember 
 using WindowMaker a few months ago, but I didn't like it that much. I mean, 
 it *was* fast and reliable, but I had some problems with the interface and 
 unless someone here can recommend a good place to get a tutorial or some 
 additional information, I would think twice before going back at it.
 
 I love WindowMaker, it is a nice and smooth windowmanager, there are plenty
 of documentation on www.windowmaker.org
 
 Okay, to make a long story short: if anyone could either recommend me a good 
 windowmanager or give me a hint on where I can find some background 
 information on them (WindowMaker in particular), I'd be thankful.
 
 
 Personally I don't mind KDE either, but on a P 166 Mhz it is sloow.
 
 Cheers

Why not just settle for something like say, Enlightenment? It's fast,
highly configurable, has heaps of themes, low on resource, has heaps of
epplets with it...(it is in your package if you want to install it)

You tried it just for once, found it alright for kicks,
 but now you find out you have a habit that sticks,
 you're an orgasm addict,
 you're always at it,
 and you're an orgasm addict.
