Linux Why, you might ask, would anyone want to build their own operating system? It's really about being in control and knowing what's going on.In the next few paragraphs I'll explain what motivated me to take on this project, the recipe I used, and what I like about it.

low footprint window manager
by Richard Fillion on Fri 31st Jan 2003 17:21 UTC

anyone who wants a window manager that is very low memory and low cpu usage should give ion a try. After a week of usage, it hasnt used up 1 sec of cpu time yet on a box that is considered slow by today's standards (Celeron 400Mhz). And the part i love the most about it is that it can totally be controlled by the keyboard, no, alt+tab doesnt constitute "controlling everything from the keyboard".
