Fluxbox 1.0:The Linux Window Manager

[mehulved]

I have used twm for a while but somehow ratpoison seems much better. It's so much configurable for using with only your keyboard. vi users would quite appreciate that.

@gx_saurav like virtualization?

That & much more, number crunching, rendering, encoding & transcoding etc....People already have good enough hardware but they are always paranoid for resource usage, are resource ka karoge kya when they are sitting idle. KDE & GNome are good in usability terms, i mean features etc....I myself use XFCE in Zenwalk core which i m using on a external HD for cyber cafes etc but that is where it makes sense to use it. What is the point of being paranoid about resource usage when u have a fairly new computer?

Mehul, you say Ubuntu is a bit slow on your 2 GHz CPU, well...2 GHz is lot of power to run an OS if tailored with 512 MB RAM, why not compile the kernel & application packages of Ubuntu for the hardware u r using to get extra performance, u just have to do it once...or every 6 months when u upgrade the Distro

^Nope he probably means anti-virus, anti-infection, disk defragement kinda softwares!

Thanx for adding your useless comment & troll attempt.

See, all I m saying that whats the point of using such window managers like Flubox which don't even come with a file manager. Why not use KDE Gnome etc which provide much more features which can be removed if the user wants, to make them slim & fast.

Ofcors u can add file managers to fluxbox and customize it to ur wishes. Its like saying whats the use of having Xp which doesn't comes with MS-Office and stability etc.

People generally want close to real time performances and a stable system. Thats where fluxbox comes into picture! U dont like it, dont use it...simple!
