Hello all. I just got Enemy Territory working with my Radeon 9200se and FC2. What is the best way to install a different window manager. I want to log use one that uses the least amount of resources. Can I do this with yum. Thanks JM
I am a great fan of fvwm.
Login takes less than a second in my ancient PIII-500.
None of those initialising this and that business.
Apart from being lean and mean, it is motif-like, similar
to wm on many other unix boxes around. When minimised,
I can specify in my .fvwm2rc file which icons go where
anywhere on the screen. Also left click anywhere on
desktop to get the start menu. Can also have gnome-panel
present if you wish.
May not be the most straightforward to customise for
beginners, but I am no expert - see fvwm.org. Other than
that, I don't really see much cons - maybe also not so
good in the dragging and dropping area.
It is not part of Fedora Core as far as I know but
it should!.
I am too tied down with work and other stuff so I hope someone may pick it up and champion the cause.
In the meantime, I cannot remember wether I build mine from source or RPM - must have been too easy.
Cheers -Asri Sulaiman
