Greetings! I'm a noob coming from Ubuntu, wanting a cleaner, quicker system. More specifically, I would like to try the I3 window manager which seems really nice.
So I try to install Debian and I deselect the "Desktop" checkbox. This gives me a system where I can log in to a bash shell, but where do I go from here? I manage to install i3 by doing aptitude install i3 but I understand I need to do more than that. Seems like I need some display manager also? I did try to do aptitude install slim which installs, but it's not like it magically autostarts when I boot the system. What I need is to config slim to autostart, which will run i3 upon login? Or do I need to set up the X server to autostart? Thanks for any help!
