[zylr]

So, what one is the best, use the poll please.
I like fluxbox, its nice and light, runs great on slower computers and has some cool styles.
if you want, post screenshots too!
If your choice is not in the poll, just post it.

Do you think this is really beneficial, or even necessary?

This has been done to death, not only here, but everywhere Linux users gather. It comes down to a person's personal preference - and there's a lot of choices available. There is no absolute best one. And starting a discussion like this is practially an open invitation for bashing and flames.

I love GNOME ! I can't wait for 2.8 version.
....but I use Fluxbox :p

[AliOop]

Damn it! Try to but I just can't resist polls like this. Gnome all the way. For the first two years of my Linux experence I used KDE and dappled with Gnome as well as others. With Fedora I've rediscovered Gnome. I'm now a committed Gnome man.

[bamboo_spider]

Not sure just trying to figure out which KDE or Gnome

[fjleal]

Gnome, with Xfce in a close second place.

[Jman]

This has already been done (http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=60) and I still prefer Gnome.

Technically, Gnome and KDE aren't window managers, they are complete environments.

[ghaefb]

So how would you call that?

"I'm using GNOME complete environment."
It's kinda weird :)
Or is there any other name?

It's been a long time, tried KDE in redhat 6.0, enlightenment, sawfish, mwm, etc...
I stuck with gnome and played around with enlightenment but stayed with gnome, since then...

Gnome, for some reason, I just dont like KDE as much.

[PixelCloud]

I remember I've used to like Sawfish once... especialy for it's LISP abilities... but now it has stagnated, but it is still very powerfull if you like to tweak, a little. I don't understand why GNOME dropped Sawfish for pity WM as Metacity is... well maybe that is why I am no longer GNOME user...

[muckraker]

Fluxbox, with revisions. I like to use the KDE shell (more flexible than xterm) and Konqueror (easier to see what documents/files I have in /home), but Fb runs blue blazes around everything else. Also sometimes use IceWM, but it's a bear to customize.

One of the things I really dig about Linux in general is, if you don't like the window manager your distro comes with, you can always use something else. Try doing that with Windows, heh-heh.

gnome - using since redhat 7.2 :)

[jale2ice]

Gnome biatch!

[xsos]

i love gnome too :D

[inha]

I'm going to give fluxbox a try some day. But I'll stick with gnome for now. 2.8 looks awesome.

[LanceM]

I used to be a KDE fanatic, but Gnome is the wm for me.

[badfinger]

Well for me it was always Gnome, that was the most appealing. Oki fluxbox is cool, but needs hard word to customize, I guess. Also, I noticed, that maybe the Europeans prfer KDE and the Americans Gnome. And again, I guess, this is depending on the prefered distro...

[desipher]

I like fluxbox and gnome. I'm really hook up fluxbox right now and different themes and low resources used on my slower servers.

[imdeemvp]

flubox is nice but too much time comsuming for me.....
