Redhat doesn't include it, but IceWM is my recommended lightwieght desktop. Very usable. Not much to configure. WindowMaker that comes with RedHat is not so bad, either, BTW. I don't think they ship fvwm. (As for fvem: check fvwm-themes. A "theme engine" for fvwm written mostly in fvwm macros. Makes fvwm configuration much easier) -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+
