But if you're interested in a window manager that doesn't use too many resources, try iceWM or blackbox. Both are quite basic. IceWM has somewhat of a resemblance to windows/KDE, while blackbox is super simple. IMO, neither iceWM or blackbox serve well as environments you'd use constantly in linux. On my laptop I run in console mode most of the time and head over to iceWM just when I need to run netscape or something. Matt _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
