Does anyone use this?

I am currently, and have been since the year dot been using the default and basic x windows manager when I have absolutely needed a GUI

Im thinking of installing enlightenment from ports this evening to give it a go and wanted to gleam some opinions?

Ive played with it for giggles. Its cool looking, and the desktop management is sorta gee-whiz. Very light footprint,etc.

However, for ultra light window management, I lurv Openbox with  fbpanel. Install obmenu and you can edit the menu. :thumbup:

Dont know if it or fbmenu are in ports. :dunno: Background is drawn by feh.

That looks more like my kind of WM !

Its easy to learn. Right click menu, middle click for window management. Scroll on title bar shades. Alt + Ctrl + arrows move between desktops. Thats about it.

Blackbox and Fluxbox are nice as well, I just like Openbox a bit more. Theres even Ratpoison if youre feeling properly punk. :mrgreen:

PekWM is my WM of choice.

Light, featureful and plays nice with gnome.

to run openbox or similar? 128mb is fine. 96mb is doable even.
