Er... you may find ion a PITA, since it reaaaaally doesn't look nice and
it resizes _all_ of your windows to fit the screen. Basically, it's
nothing like your convential window manager, ;-) Advantages: totally
keyboard-driven, no overlapping windows, no distractions ;-)
At work (we run solaris) I'm only using wmaker. I've never liked CDE and
even switched to twm for not quite a few months (KDE was just too slow)
but wmaker is very fast and has some nice features and dockapps. Of
course, many people only use enlightenment, afterstep, blackbox, icewm
etc. etc.
Welcome to open source: freedom of (way too) many choices.
