[CentOS] C6, lightweight window managers - opinions?
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 used IceWM a long, long, tried it recently - it's unchanged. Love it! :-) -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!
