[Eug-lug] Favourite WM/Desktop

[fleming.j at comcast.net]

I voted for fluxbox. I like the desktop to be as clear as possible,with or without some eye candy for a background. Other reasons are that it is very fast, compared to Kde, I haven't used Gnome that much but my impression is that it is a little faster than Kde but slower than Fluxbox. It is as far as I know the most configurable wm there is (could be wrong on this, lets hear some opinions and flames). What really got me interested in it was screenshots showing all sorts of apps from other wm's 
on the menus in it (Mike mentions that). And with a little work you can come up with your own theme, or at least modify the existing ones.
