Aravind, Sure, with debian you can use apt-get to install window manager(s) of your choice. Try the command "apt-cache search window manager | less" for a list of choices. (plug: I like blackbox) Once installed, you can specify which window manager to use thru many means; on a per user basis, an easy way is to add "exec /path/to/manager" as the last line in a ~/.xsession file (don't include the "s) have a lot of fun! aloha, dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
