[Rule-list] Window Manager (and introduction)

[George Lane]

Hi, I'm another Slashdot reader who just joined the list.

I was wondering if anyone here had looked into the qvwm window manager?
I've been using it on Redhat Linux on my computer (Pentium 133/48MB
RAM) for several months now, and am very happy with it.
Besides being fast and lightweight, it also supports
internationalization
(I think the development team is mostly Japanese).
It is designed to emulate the "look and feel" of Microsoft Windows.
which I know many free software users will scream at, but I 
think this could be an advantage: Many more people might be willing
to try out Linux (especially on an old/spare computer) AND stick
with it, if they started out with a familiar-looking GUI, rather
than the barrage of icons and menu choices that KDE and Gnome 
present by default.

Here's a PNG of part of my own desktop:

Looking forward to contributing (unfortunately I don't program,
but I can write documentation, test, and build packages. I also read
Japanese if that can be of any help).
