Hello there, I could also recommend the ones others have recommended: * blackbox: nice, lightweight * uwm (from ude): used it for some time, this one is really lightweight, smallest memory footprint of the windowmanagers I already used (blackbox, fvwm, windowmaker, sawfish, icewm, uwm), and still pretty nice to use.
But at the moment I am using windowmaker on my laptop ([EMAIL PROTECTED] MHz with 8 Mb RAM), just because I found out, that it is relatively fast, considered the amount of functionality I gives you. (And I really like the NeXtish look! ;-). Regards, Daniel On Sun, 17 Sep 2000, Harry Henry Gebel wrote: > I have a Pentium 90 laptop with 16MB of memory running Mandrake Linux and > XFCE.
