Enlightenment window manager


I'm using Fedora Core 4 with X and Gnome. I found a window manager, call Enlightenment. It hasn't been upgraded in 2 or 3 years, but I was told that it was far more lightweight that Gnome or KDE (ESPECIALLY KDE). But the latest release was for RedHat 9 and i386. 2 questions, will enlightenment, being as outdated as it is, be able to run newer applications? and will it run on a much newer (not to mention a different version) of redhat linux?


Also, any opinions on enlightenment are welcome, I'd like to hear what you guys think.

Thanks ahead of time.

E17

I think E17 is still being developed, but E16 is stable and usable (as far as I know).
