Window Managers and You!
« on: January 28, 2006, 10:56:59 am »
Which one do you use and why?
Personally I use XFCE because the computer I'm running on (digitalfortress @ 433MHz, 6gb partition for Slack including swap, 8mb or less video card, 384mb RAM) is extremely old and would asplode on KDE's pretty-much-Windows GUI.  XFCE also looks neat and I found it to be easier to tweak (without editing the source code) than KDE.

Window Managers*

WindowMaker is the name of a specific one, the one that I use. 

I use WindowMaker because it does exactly what I need it to, and it does it easily.  I use xbindkeys to run programs, so I don't need any built in menuing system.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

KDE because I can and I can I load it up with useless resource wasting crap.
Fluxbox right now because KDE will own my ass without proper video drivers.

You might be right about that, Joe.
