I am using fvwm on my 2GHz Athlon and P4 machines with 1GB RAM each. Do you have to switch to a memory wasting wm once you have a faster machine? fvwm rocks, unfortunately the current version in testing does not like my config anymore that I started writing 10 years ago. So maybe I have to switch to gnome, which already can do a few things, that fvwm can do, or start reading about what changed in the new versions. Until I decide, I am keeping an old fvwm version around. Christian
