Hello, what is the smallest window system for Linux? Not much graphics needed, maybe the equivallent of Windows 3.1 or something?

I'm not so sure that blackbox is the smallest wm out there, but I'd have to say that it's one of the most usable wm's for its' size.

WindowMaker (http://www.windowmaker.org), Blackbox (http://blackbox.alug.org/),
Fluxbox (http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/),IceWM (http://www.icewm.org)

Great, thanks. Do any distributions come with blackbox, and can be installed with floppy and cd rom (if you can't boot from cd)?

Mandrake touts that it has 11 window managers at your disposal (though it takes a little hunting to find them beyond the most visible five [KDE, Gnome, blackbox, windowmaker, fwvm])

I'm sure any other major distro will include it as well... I mean.. why wouldn't they! =')
