| 5 | <para>Window Mangers and Desktop Environments are the primary user
|
|---|
| 6 | interfaces into the X Windows System. A window manager is a program
|
|---|
| 7 | that controls the appearance of windows and provides the means by which
|
|---|
| 8 | the user can interact with them. A Desktop Environment provides a more
|
|---|
| 9 | complete interface to the operating system, and provides a range of
|
|---|
| 10 | integrated utilities and applications.</para>
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | <para>There are many Window Mangers available. Some of the more well
|
|---|
| 13 | known ones include fvwm2, Window Maker, AfterStep, Enlightenment, Sawfish,
|
|---|
| 14 | and Blackbox.</para>
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | <para>The Desktop Environments available for Linux are GNOME, KDE, and
|
|---|
| 17 | XFce.</para>
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | <para>Choosing a Window Manager or Desktop Environment is highly
|
|---|
| 20 | subjective. The choice depends on the look and feel of the packages, the
|
|---|
| 21 | resources (RAM, disk space) required, and the utilities included. One web
|
|---|
| 22 | site that provides a very good summary of what is available, screenshots,
|
|---|
| 23 | and their respective features is <ulink url="http://www.plig.org/xwinman/">Window Managers for X</ulink>.</para>
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | <para>In this chapter, the installation instructions of
|
|---|
| 26 | several Window Managers and one lightweight Desktop Environment are presented. Later in the book, both KDE and Gnome have their own Parts.</para>
