Switching Between Windows Mangers, Enlightment and Fluxbox and Gnome?


So as YDL is booting up I can choose to use different windows managers,right? so are they installed or just available to be installed?? What are the effects of using different ones as each time i boot?

If I install Fluxbox do i need to uninstall any of the others??

I don't use YDL, but there won't be any problems if you switch between them. Whether or not they are installed is pretty easy to check - just try and use them, nothing bad will happen.

They create their own settings directories under your home directory (e.g. fluxbox settings are in ~/.fluxbox) and you don't need to uninstall any of them.
