- schestowitz, on 08/02/2008, -3/+11What an excellent and comprehensive overview. Didn't even realise there were as many as 20...
- innovati, on 08/02/2008, -2/+9i've always had a spot in my heart of *box WM's. I had a horrible computer and I could almost double my performance in games by using blackbox or fluxbox instead of KDE to run games because it freed up an extra 30mb of my 512 mb of SDRAM.
Not so much an issue now, but on low hardware every bit makes a difference! I was surprised E17 wasn't on the list though. - inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+6LOL!
What do you think the Linux/Unix section is for, *****? - mikelieman, on 08/03/2008, -0/+3minimalist window managers provide other benefits.
I'm a big fan of the Ratpoison window manager -- *everything* runs full-screen. No borders, frames, or windows taking up screen real estate, and I can give whatever I'm doing at the moment my full attention. - czeman, on 08/03/2008, -2/+4Of course. I use it on four servers and three workstations. I also use a Linux box and a Mac to automate my radio station. Windows plays no part whatsoever and never will. Windows != Mission-Critical
- wisam, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1The problem with these minimalistic window mangers is that you must give each one of them enough time before judging. It's the tiny features and behaviors that make the differences.
I for one prefer Openbox over Blackbox and Fluxbox. - keyle, on 08/03/2008, -3/+2Great list, too bad it's just too damn hard to make it a proper workstation when you're a web designer.
- KongKNoob, on 08/03/2008, -3/+2You know this will be on Linux Hater's blog tomorrow, right?
- inactive, on 08/03/2008, -8/+1Use Vista, best window manager ever!
