Re: Alternative windowmanagers

Something traditional on my laptop - I use Blackbox 07.01.

It even takes less memory and appears a little more responsive then
Fluxbox.

Its a pity the developer didnt release any updates for years. Will see
how long it stands with more contemporary Unix systems.

Cheers
