Steffen Nurpmeso's preferred ahwm was listed as discontinued; is also not in FreeBSD ports (category x11-wm). So I might not be able to try it even if I wanted. When I tried awesome, it was on version 3.5 (approximately). I believe the website was awesome.naquadah.org . I couldn't separate the substance from the glamour. I like substance as opposed to hot air, hence would stay away from something like Enlightenment (seemed poorly documented, at least in the time of NetBSD 7.99.1. When I had NetBSD 7.99.1 installed (and still do thanks to GPT even if I hardly ever use this outdated version), I was apparently in pkgsrc directory instead of proper package directory when I updated packages. System just tried to update everything in sight, and I got unexpected package installations including Enlightenment, but this accidentally installed Enlightenment crashed the system every time I tried to start it. Interest in ratpoison is because of the desire to see what I can do with no extras, even if I wouldn't use ratpoison all the time. Tom
