The Worst Window Manager I saw was in Damn Small Linux. Can we make a slim Gnome version for DSL?
Not all of us are worried about color coordination =)

If you think that Gnome on ANY amount of RAM is "not slow", then perhaps you should experience Fluxbox the way I do...on a lean Linux system or a FreeBSD system. Guaranteed, FreeBSD loads KDE faster than I've ever witnessed it load up on virtually any machine, but ANY hint of desktop lag is enough to make me switch. It's not program load delay...I understand that...it's when the desktop just stops responding (even for a split second)...with Fluxbox on Gentoo or FreeBSD, I don't see that kind of lag.

Makes me crazy for some reason. I can't stand it.

I also have no problem with using the CLI routinely (I know, I know...it doesn't fall into the "user friendly" category!), but that's ME...I could care less if Joe Schmoe the "Linux user" thinks Gnome is the shizt...Gnome doesn't work for me...period. KDE isn't *bad*, but it's certainly too "automated" for my tastes.
