Doc, I think
maybe you're confusing OpenStep with OpenWindows (OpenLook),
which was a SUN environment, and is, in fact, relatively well replicated
on linux. In fact, I'd say that byte-for-byte it's the most complete,
useable desktop environment available under Linux today. Much better
than those poor, bloated pieces of garbage that GNOME, KDE, Enlightenment,
etc, have become.
Now I'm no big fan of any of the newer window managers either, but
OpenLook? GAH, ARGHHH *WRETCH* Sure, it's a personal preference and
all. My choice would be FVWM, and then probably TWM. Also, I'd
completely forgetten about Bowman and AfterSTEP. Bowman was nice and
lightweight, and I think derivative of FVWM.
I swear by CTWM. I don't mind MWM so much either. I can't stand FVWM.
Peace... Sridhar
