two words for you: "apt-cache search": apt-cache search windowmaker [...] wmaker - NeXTSTEP-like window manager for X And two more words: "apt-cache show": [EMAIL PROTECTED]:yves$ apt-cache show wmaker Package: wmaker Priority: optional [...] Description: NeXTSTEP-like window manager for X Written by Alfredo Kojima almost from scratch, resembles the NeXTStep look very closely, and it's now an official GNU project. Window Maker is not overloaded with features, and it's easier to configure than most other window managers. Its final goal is to produce a window manager that doesn't require editing of configuration files. Window Maker is fast and doesn't require tons of memory to run. . Homepage: <http://www.windowmaker.org/> In terms of small WM, I'm a big fan of PWM and/or ION2, which I also find particularly adapted to the small laptop displays. Y.
