"After a very productive series of preview releases, Openbox 3.4 is here! If you haven't yet, we'd really like to recommend that you read through the 'Upgrading to 3.4 guide', which is on the Openbox web site, here. The number of changes since 3.3.1, as you'll know if you've been following the preview releases, can be a little overwhelming. The upgrading to 3.4 guide talks about most of them, along with pretty pictures to show many of the new features."

well, although I think the choice of window managers is very much down to personal taste and not really a matter of good or bad, for me it's also openbox all the way.
I recently tried xubuntu and I liked xfce, previously I also ventured into the eyecandy-lands of beryl which was very nice but eventually I return to ob. for me it strikes just the right balance, your mileage may vary.

Openbox is one truely excellent window manager. It has been a long-time favourite replacing Metacity in my book as well. I really wish more people would know about it!
Also it would be nice if it could get included in the GNOME desktop by default even if not replacing Metacity but complementing it as a user choice for an advanced windows manager..

Weeks ago, I followed the instructions for using OB instead of KWin on KDE. (The pc I was using had only 256 and I was using SLAX linux live-cd. so memory was tight.) I noticed a significant performance boost (ie. windows openned quicker, new firefox tabs openned much quicker), and free() showed I was using about 2 - 3 MB less ram, if my (human) memory serves.
Just thought you might want to know.
