It's a lot of work to make a 'reasonably configurable' window manager, and maybe the FVWM2 guys don't have the time, or don't care. They made something they like, and made it free to use for whoever wants to download it or get a cd with it. If you don't like that, get something else. I get frustrated with hamm sometimes because setting up ANY piece of hardware has been ten times the pain I've had with my extensive Windows experience, at least this has been my personal experience with Debian, maybe some of you have had an easier time for all I know. If you like the leaness and meaness of FVWM2, you'll have to learn it's mean configuration system. You might like this sight: http://www.PLiG.org/xwinman/ It contains screenshots and configuration files for the screenshots for nearly all of the popular window managers. I personally am using KDE right now. I'd say it ties with windowmaker and gnome used together, which is what I used before. Windowmaker and gnome w/ rxvt is prettier than KDE but I find with the K environment I can do pretty much anything instantly and in a number of different ways to. And the 1.0 release of KDE was announced today to, so it should be packaged for Debian Real Soon Now and you should definately check it out if you haven't already. The online help and configuration is even easier to use than Windows, IMHO. Chris -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
