Alfredo needs a new box!!! (Score:1)
These days you can grab a K6-2/400 and 64 MB of the good stuff on a decent motherboard for around $200 online. I'm seriously thinking about passing the hat at the next LUG meeting. Its certainly a good cause
I fully believe that Window Maker is the best window manager ever written, and I feel a great debt to Alfredo for this solid and well-designed piece of code. I'm forever spoiled for other window managers.
I'm just curious about the shipping to Brazil,

BTW I'm the guy who interviewed Kojima and later translated the text to English (with a lot of help from Joachin Nilsson and Kerry Kox). Glad to know you liked it!

The bottom line is that the type of person who is attracted to WindowMaker's advantages doesn't need the extra overhead of a full desktop suite.

Just a little rectification: Gnome don't have any official wm, they want to be wm agnostic (you can love it or hate it this is not the point here).
You probably think that enlightenment is Gnome default wm because Redhat use enlightenment with Gnome and enlightenment was (is?) the most Gnome complient wm but this is a decision from Redhat and not from the Gnome team. this may even cahnge now that Rastermann left Redhat.

I was interested by the final comment about a P100/16mb - My friend recently installed Gnome on a P133/32mb and it was pretty damn sluggish (although it did have a reasonably old gfx card) -AK states earlier that his intention isn't too make WM look "pretty" - just functional and easy to use. Nice to see that traditional values and sensible sys requirements still hold true...
