You can invoke a window manager from the command line if you have X running
already, but most people just put the command in the .xinitrc file so that it
gets started by startx or by xdm.

I use enlightenment by itself, and I am quite satisfied with it. The only
problem I could see for others is that it does not yet provide a file
manager, so you either need to run another file manager, or just use terminal
windows (I prefer terminal windows, and Eterm in particular). The next
release of E will have a file manager included, so this won't be an issue for
too much longer.
