1 I've been trying to clean up my machines (pruning world file, etc) and
2 am making progress.
3
4 I ran into one issue, that being on my server (mythtv, file, etc) I am
5 normally in text/ssh mode but occasionally I need X for something.
6
7 Does anyone have suggestions for a small-footprint window manager (I
8 have no need for a full desktop environment) as twm is just fugly and
9 sometimes not intuitive. I also don't need a file manager as I use
10 Midnight Commander which works well for my needs. This all stems from
11 occasionally needing a gui for configuring mythtv or the ability to have
12 two shells open side by side.
13
14 I am thinking others have most likely had this problem at some point and
15 have found something that's lightweight for this type of purpose.
