FVWM is fast, reliable and extremely configurable. It puts you in control of your work habits, and can behave just the way you want it. If you work at your computer many hours a day, and want to do that efficiently, you should consider trying out fvwm.

You can’t really describe what FVWM is like. Unlike most other window managers, who has a more or less “specific” way of behaving, FVWM doesn’t have a specific behaviour. Your won’t get a great experience just because you use FVWM. But if you use FVWM with a nice configuration, we are talking a different story…

You’ll need to spend an certain amount of time fine-tuning your configuration. If you don’t have time for that, and is satisfied using the “mainstream environments”, FVWM is probably not for you.

Again, take a look at the thread I linked to in my last post. It contains a nice pep talk and demonstration of some of FVWM’s capabilities.

You may also look at fvwm.org. Unfortunately, the website tries to emulate a window manager, which makes navigating through it a pain. A bit pity if you ask me. Though it may not look so, FVWM is being actively developed.
