10/8    For those of you who have tried any combination of these which one
        do you prefer?: Afterstep, WindowMaker, or Enlightment. I want to
        know before I spend an hour downloading it. Oh yeah, ICEwm sucks.
        Looks too much like Win95.
        \_ wrt ICEwm, that was the point dude...
        \_ use twm.
        \_ I've tried all of them.  Tons of people like afterstep/blackbox
           (which look about the same to me).. I'm not sure why.
           Englightenment is pretty, but slow and very very buggy (0.14 still
           Enlightenment is pretty, but slow and very very buggy (0.14 still
           kills my Xserver after a few minutes of use)  I use fvwm2 because
           some of the modules (like FvwmButtons) are nice and SloppyFocus
           and SmartPlacement are very addictive.  Otherwise, I'd just use
           twm.  All of the things that make other window managers "advanced"
           (stylized borders, lots of icons, etc) just get annoying after
           you've got all of your shortcut keys and whatnot set up to actually
           get work done. --dbushong
        \_ ctwm is basically twm with virtual desktops.  I like it the most
           since I only have a 15" monitor. -- reeser
           \_ fvwm's virtual desktops are somewhat cooler for this, because
              then you can just drag windows from one to the other by banging
              them against the side of the screen --dbushong

5/30    Does X packet forwarding forward sound data?

5/17    How many of you actually use BSD or Linux on your personal notebook or
        desktop computer? If so, what flavor? oh and plz say what "desktop
        environment" you use. actually it would be interesting for everyone
        to just reply and say what they use. i'm on WinXP.
        \_ FreeBSD-RELEASE on my laptop (Thinkpad X31) although to be fair
           I am ditching it for Debian, as it has serious problems with ACPI,
