For example, "apt-get install icewm wmaker" to install them.

Then create/edit ~/.xinitrc with the name of the wm you want to use; 
here's a snippet of mine for example:

> #icewm

> #fvwm95
> #larswm
> #galeon
> #fvwm95
> #xterm
> #gnome-panel
> #twm
> #wmaker
> #xfwm

I just uncomment whichever one I want to use. Then restart X and you're 
in business.
