DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Cut down on programs.



but DSL is a liveCD, it should be aiming to put as much functionality into the 50mg as possible.

jwm would be perfect as a single DSL extension but not as a standard component.

In my mind jwm is not part of the original goal of DSL and will hamper the developement of DSL by increasing the workload and wasting space.
Actually I think it is fluxbox what is "not part of the original goal of DSL". You see? We all have an opinion :D

In my Debian box I use pekwm, that has tabbed windows, is pretty configurable, small enough, friendly enough and can be as gorgeous or spartan as you please.

But jwm is a pretty Damn Small Piece Of Code ™ and I like the toy. More than fluxbox.
I have no problem replacing fluxbox with jvm if thats whats going to happen.

Focussing on making one window manager as good as possible is far better than having two and having to make concessions for each.

I wouldn't mind having to download fluxbox as a mydsl extension as long as it worked like normal.
