Aravind,
Sure, with debian you can use apt-get to install window manager(s) of
your choice.
Try the command "apt-cache search window manager | less" for a list of
choices. (plug: I like blackbox)
Once installed, you can specify which window manager to use thru
many means; on a per user basis, an easy way is to add
"exec /path/to/manager" as the last line in a ~/.xsession file
(don't include the "s)
have a lot of fun!
aloha,
dave
