Any window managers similar to windowmaker?
Anyone know of a window manager that is similar to Windowmaker that is easy to install that dosnt need to add other files to get it to run/compile?
I tried to install windowmaker and it was a nightmare, got dependency errors then got the files it said it needed, got errors compiling those then got the files those needed and got errors installing those so finally i gave up. |
hi
what functionality are you looking for when you mean something like window manager. a complete list of available options(almost) is available here http://www.plig.org/xwinman/ |
Are you looking something like WindowMaker in which matter? Lightweight/Ease of use desktop ? If so, I would recommend Blackbox/Fluxbox if you've not already tried :). I can see you are using RedHat 9.0. If so, I hope you have apt-get/synaptic installed on it, otherwise you are losing the best thing I've found for this distro :).
If you do, have it, type: apt-get install blackbox then apt-get install bbkeys If you don't have/know about apt-get/synaptic then visit: http://freshrpms.net/ If you want to know more about black or fluxbox, visit: http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/ www.fluxbox.org Good luck |
hehe, rahulsundaram and I am on fire today :). I'm posting almost always together with you and saying almost what you've just said. Sorry buddy, I promise to use my reload button next time ;)

Afterstep is very much like WindowMaker, in fact, WM was formed off of Afterstep.

hi megaman
thats ok. let the users have a double take. its sometimes worth repeating stuff |
Try fluxbox or icewm
For Red Hat 9, you will want to install rpm's with the command rpm -Uvh package_name Search google for their homepages or search for them on http://rpm.pbone.net/ use the advanced search |
;)
