I am using fvwm on my 2GHz Athlon and P4 machines with 1GB RAM each. Do you
have to switch to a memory wasting wm once you have a faster machine? fvwm
rocks, unfortunately the current version in testing does not like my config
anymore that I started writing 10 years ago. So maybe I have to switch to
gnome, which already can do a few things, that fvwm can do, or start reading
about what changed in the new versions. Until I decide, I am keeping an old
fvwm version around.
