Many people say fluxbox here, but you should also have a look at openbox |
| 17 |
(http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Main_Page) which is very similar |
| 18 |
but seems to integrate better into freedesktop.org standards. I use |
| 19 |
openbox because it gives me the speed and configurability of fluxbux |
| 20 |
while all the automagic things (suspend-keys, volume-keys, |
| 21 |
powermanagement, plasmoids, ...) that hal and kde4 bring still work. |
| 22 |
But maybe the latest version of fluxbox also does that..? I have not |
| 23 |
checked on it for a while. |

The fundamental theorem of algebra is open source. Like any other |
| 33 |
mathematical theorem it can be applied free of charge and everybody |
| 34 |
has access to its proof and can convince himself how it works. Why |
| 35 |
should software be any different? |
