Window Maker
I have looked through the board and I see all sort of comment on different GUI (window maker, KDE, gnome, etc) .
I just want to know if window maker is the lightest one available or if there exist an other one (stability is important and graphic are not since it is for a server machine (I will most likely run it on 16 color, by the way it is for an old machine) ) Thanks in advance. |
I flip flop using windowmaker and fluxbox (which is similar to blackbox) and they are much faster on my machine than kde or gnome.
The best site I could find for actual size is this: Window Managers but some of those I've never tried (or heard of for that matter). Blackbox looks like the smallest one I've used at 230K. Fluxbox would probably be a similar size Windowmaker clocks in at 1.8M If you want to look at fluxbox take a look at this site |
If you're not too concerned with all of the eye candy and fancy stuff, check out blackbox:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/blackboxwm It has a small footprint and is very fast. j. |
well, if you are after the smallest i *think* it's twm, and it's crap. you've probably already got it installed on your box.

Thanks for all the replies!!
By the way, by light I did nit mean small size, I meant it could run on a slow system. Again, thanks all! |
