[wplug] Window Managers, Desktop Environments ect.

[David G Matthews]

I personally prefer Gnome.  I haven't tried the newest KDE; what I've seen
looks cool, but I'm too bandwidth-challenged to download it.  I like to
use Gnome with the Sawfish window manager  - it looks cool, and it's
stable.  However, I run a lot of processor-hungry multimedia apps, so
sometimes I ditch the desktop entirely and run a really minimal window
manager like Black Box. I ought to be really into desktop environments,
since I was mostly a Mac user until pretty recently
(when I bought my Athlon and switched over to Linux), but ironically I've
been finding myself using the command line for more and more stuff and
using X for less and less.
