FVWM: Happy Birthday !
Hi, Congratulations for the Birthday ! I used fvwm 4 years ago for the first and I nevert left it. I particularly appreciate that it is fast and flexible and the quality of the documentation which is really instructive. I have conviced two of my friends to use FVWM and they don't regret their choice !

FVWM: Happy Birthday fvwm!
I got my first computer in 1995 (an old 386Dx40) and immediately installed slackware linux on it via lots lots of floppy disks as it had no cdrom. However it was too slow to run X properly so I soon upgraded to a 486DX33 which I had for many years. I tried a lot of window managers on that old 486 and although a couple came close, none were as fast nor as flexible as fvwm. I quickly discovered that the excellent documentation allowed a complete computer illiterate such as I to customise his desktop any way he wants. Over the years I have tried as many other window managers as I could, just to compare, but I never stray from fvwm for long. I flirted with fvwm95 for awhile, then stuck with fvwm-2.0.43b for over a year, until I started using the cvs versions. Nowadays I try to keep my installation as up to date as I can, and I still haven't been able to try all the possible combinations of fvwm-themes! I think they're approaching infinity? Anyway, I guess I'm truly addicted to fvwm as any of the regulars on EFNET's #linuxhelp and #redhat can attest to, as I spend much time energy extolling the virtues of fvwm to newbies and old time linux users alike. CONGRATULATIONS to all the tireless and dedicated developers of the best window manager in the known universe, on reaching such a momentous milestone! Hope to see you all at the party! :) Alex P.S.

Happy Birthday, FVWM! I start using a computer in 1992 at the university for my thesis. It was a UNIX system and the X terminal run twm. In 93 or 94 one day a saw a pager and I want to have it. So I start using FVWM version 1. In 95 I moved and I used CDE on Solaris during 3 years. In 1998, I get a laptop and install Linux (Redhat 5.?) after a bad experience with Afterstep I used FVWM version 2.0.46 with the redhat fvwm95 config. Since then I used FVWM. I send my first patch on June 1999 and become a fvwm workers at the end of 1999. Regards, Olivier -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

Just wanted to toss in my congratulations.. Been using it since '96
when I started studying at the university.. Now I admin a few of the
computer systems there and fvwm is the default window manager for its
flexibility and low resource usage. FvwmButtons is a good thing too.
Let the fun continue..

FVWM: Happy Birthday to everyone here!
I really enjoyed all nice messages on this list together with some hardcore FVWM supporter voices on SlashDot. It feels very pleasing to hear thank you for making this world nicer words. But I am primary a user, so I want also to thank everyone working on this project and supporting it. I used X since 1993. We had Irix and other unix stations in Univercity. I liked 4dwm. Then someone installed fvwm95 in his account (we had 5Mb quota then, or 15Mb, depending on the account). I used it a bit, wanted new versions, but they didn't come. Then I installed X on my home machine and shortly discovered that fvwm95 is just a short fork of fvwm. Then my love started. The evolution since then is clear. New features, stable versions 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6 soon (maybe this year with your help). So, it is a nice feeling. And I wish everyone the same. You may still enjoy the irc chat although it is getting really late for some of us. :) Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

I've been using fvwm since it was default with redhat 5.1 and I've tried some others for a while like WindowMaker and AnotherLevel including desktops like CDE, KDE, and GNOME and always come back to fvwm. It's a great wm with an easy config. But recently I've been running into some difficulties I'd like to find a way to solve. One is some way to cause a key binding set in fvwm to be sent to the app instead, (i.e. when I'm vnced to another machine running fvwm with an identical config). I'd like to be able to set vncviewer to receive certain key strokes I've set to be global for everything like Ctl-Alt-Arrow for moving around my large 4x4 desktop.

Re: FVWM: happy birthday!
I join the other happy users in conveying my congratulations on the occasion of Fvmw's 10th birthday. I recall very well the day when I asked a colleague to bring his laptop over to show me this new thing called Linux. It must have been around 1993 or so. I believe he was running fvwm as window manager. The desktop contained the familiar pager with each desktop split into 3x3 pages. It looked very similar to twm and mwm window managers which I had been using at the time on Sun and Sgi machines. The next day I instructed my sysadmin to download and install Linux on my desktop. That was before the days of fast internet connections, CD burners, and commercial Linux distributions. His download required a couple of days and took up about 30 floppies. It must have been Linux kernel 0.96 or thereabouts. The distribution (Slackware, I think) came with fvwm. Converting my twm config files to fvwm required very little effort. The syntax was almost the same. I have used nothing but Linux and fvwm since then. Shortly thereafter we retired all our Sun and Sgi equipment and went completely Linux in a department of about 30 faculty and 50 graduate students. The sysadmin maintained a firm control on configuring user accounts. The only window manager made available was fvwm and it remains that way to this day. Generations of students have gone through the department since, graduating with master's and doctoral degrees, having done their entire graduate research, computation and publishing through screens controlled by fvwm. I look forward to using fvwm for many years to come.

FVWM is Favorite Virtual Window Manager to me. :-) I started using FVWM in late 1998 about the time I started using Slackware Linux, my first Unix-like OS. I stuck with FVWM for about three years; partly due to my familiarity with it, and partly due to its light-weightedness and flexibility. I continued to use FVWM only off-and-on for about a year. Now, I am planning to return to using FVWM when time permits me to hack on a personalized configuration. Long live FVWM! -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

I had my first serious meeting with UNIX workstations when I started university back in 1995. Those where Suns (some of them where even Sparc 4's... :-) ). They run OpenWindows (olwm). It was quite different from what I was used to from home, Amiga. Then in 1997 I changed to another department, they used Fvwm. Someone showed me how to change some things like focus policy in .fvwmrc (this was Fvwm 2.0.46, but compiled with binary name fvwm). Then I got hooked on editing my .fvwmrc Even if hadn't used mwm (motif), I viewed this for some reason as the way UNIX should look... So I manipulated some, and got up with a configuration that I liked. This is what my configuration is still today, though I skipped the button-bar and has made some scripts to setup colour schemes and such. //Marcus -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

I think it was spring 1997 when I installed Linux on my computer. FVWM2 was set as default window manager. Since then I tried a couple of other wms but only for at most a couple of hours, since non of them had the robustness, fastness, and the features FVWM has. For me, besides the best window manager, FVWM is a living open source project which shows that good and free software is possible. Thanks to all, who made FVWM the best window manger ever.

Well...since this was solicited by the birthday web page... I've been using UNIX in its SunOS/Solaris incarnations for at least a decade but only switched to Linux about a year ago -- at that point, I began using fvwm after recognizing that the window managing/desktop stuff that came with redhat seemed to be a memory hog with all sorts of extras I didn't need. Shortly after that, I went through an obsessive phase of trying to determine the best window manager. After trying about everything under the sun, I ended up back with fvwm -- it seemed like every other window manager either was lacking some sort of feature I desired or simply lacked decent documentation...

FVWM: Happy Birthday
Is it only 10 years? feels like longer ;-) I started using Unix in the days of proprietary-hardware CAD systems. When the industry's software mostly started running on Sun equipment, and a little later Sun supported X11 with Openlook, a sysadmin turned me on to MWM as an alternative. I think I started using FVWM in about 1994, and even then, like most TWM descendents I guess, it was pretty stable. I liked it because it was versatile, configurable down to the pixel, and had a single, reasonably sensible configuration file that I could play with to my geeky heart's content. I used CTWM for awhile because for a time, you could do more with the titlebars, but I was running used Sun equipment at home and had performance problems. So I went back to FVWM and found that not only was it immensely faster on my creaky SparcStation, but it had made strides in designability in the meantime. Then, when the MultiPixmap style was added, almost all my wishes came true (many thanks to Suzanne.) It's only in the last year that I finally switched to Linux at home. But I still run FVWM on my Sun at work, as well as on my MacOSX machine on the rare occasions when I run a rooted X server on it (alas, the Fink distribution is still version 2.4.x) Happy Birthday to the best of all window managers! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Dorothy Robinson http://www.twobarleycorns.net -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

Hey guys, you asked for it, so I'll tell you. I fist installed FreeBSD in 1997 and, I believe, I immediately installed fvwm2 on it. Maybe played with fvwm95 a bit. We also had RedHat with fvwm in school. I then briefly switched to KDE, played with Gnome, but soon went back to fvwm2. I kept trying out KDE and Gnome periodically, but both seems to be too slow and (surprisingly enough) neither of them had a usable pager. So today I have fvwm2 on my FreeBSD server/desktop, on my laptop (FreeBSD/RedHat) and on my university account. I even had one patch (minor bug fix) accepted which I'm a bit proud of :) Here is my 4 year old screenshot: http://polkan2.dyndns.org/~meshko/images/screen.jpg Happy birthday and thanks! -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.
