I like to use fvwm as it is much more configurable+small+fast than icewm. I use Debian sid with a compiled kernel from kernel-source-2.6.10. XFree86 version 4. the purpose of the machine is obviously a standalone Desktop and also a remote controlled linux box. the machine is also used to burn PIC Microcontroller with JDM programmer, some times enjoying movies using mplayer and enjoying music with xmms. all multimedia are totally controlled by LIRC please note I used xfce too, but icewm is more faster than it. > > 2. what is your packaging / flavour > > 4. machine spec like cpu , ram etc. > > 3. what is XFree86 version > > 4. primary purpose of the machine > > -- > > On Fri, 29 Jul 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > friends, > > > > I am using icewm . recently I have read lg-issue100, lg-issue105 and > > lg-issue25 and come to know about fvwm. could any user of fvwm tell me > > how this window manager performs ?
