So, on my old Netbook, now happily running C6.9, I'm looking for opinions for a lightweight window manager. Gnome surely ain't it....
Years back, I used to like IceWM, but not sure it's been kept up.
So, opinions?

I have an old Gateway netbook that runs XFCE and LWM just fine. It's Ubuntu, not CentOS however. Granted it's a recent kernel and a heavier package size I would think.

I just looked around, and now I see - I'd need to install the epel repo, which I hadn't gotten around to - to get xfce.

I'd've been happy to stay with Gnome if whoever wrote metacity hadn't broken the function-key mappings. I use FVWM on Oracle Linux 6.9:
USER RSS STARTED TIME COMMAND vogelke 160 Oct-30 0:00 /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.6.7/Fvwm vogelke 4248 Oct-30 0:03 /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.6.7/Fvwm vogelke 5728 Oct-03 1:32 fvwm -s
Can't get much lighter than that.

I used IceWM a long, long, tried it recently - it's unchanged. Love it! :-)

Really? It didn't look like the executables had been updated in years. But if they have, I *really* need to take a second look.
Thanks!
