Suggestions ?

Well right now my linux machine is mainly only used for running DansGuardian + Tinyproxy (web content filtering), but I would like to install a *very* minimal WM so I can pull up firefox every now and then..

I don't have any experience with X and window managers, so I'm going to need help with that also..

The computer has a 40gb harddrive with 512mb of ram.

Re: Suggestions ?

ratpoison and dwm are probably THE most minimal WM's out there, but you might say, hard to use. I use pekwm, which is both minimal AND powerful, but it might be a bit more than you're looking for.

For help on X, check the wiki and we can help if you have any specific questions.
