Quick Linux Survey....

[MADHATter7]

How about it ? How many use Gnome ? How many use KDE and/or KDE2 ? How many of you are Blackbox or X-windows ? How many are "command line only" ?
Just being curious, I suppose....

Personally, I use Helix-Gnome (sometimes) but am using KDE2 more and more, but would like to try some other window managers and/or desktop environments....

Anyone try Xfce ? Or maybe some other "not so well known" WM's or DE's ?!?!

I'm using WindowMaker right now cuz it's relatively small and fast and is just so clean and cool lookin. I like it.

Was using Helix/Gnome but I just dont like the file manager and the general ugliness of it. Just my opinion.

[Daedra]

im prety much exclusively Blackbox, but i do want to check out KDE 2

[Sauron]

KDE all the way! I'll be trying out KDE2 once I can download the new Mandrake 7.2. GNOME has some cool features, but I generally can't stand the file manager, and a few other things about it tick me off.

gnome with sawfish.....

[mongrel]

Another vote for KDE2! They really scored with Konqueror.

[dieselboy]

Used to use blackbox but switched to KDE on Solaris and KDE 2 on my FreeBSD machines..

[Llhorian]

I use Blackbox, it's small and simple, yet elegant http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Debian with BlackBox and several kde apps. Sometimes IceWM (when I need to have a quick task bar), and the command line a lot.

Really, for me, it's a mood thing. Sometimes I like the crispness of blackbox. It really is a nice environment. No clutter and fast!
I've been using helix very happily (with sawfish) but have enjoyed the change of pace with kde2.
But honestly, sometimes, when I log in, I open the menu and click on one randomly and work with whatever comes up. WM is nice but I"ve also come to appreciate AfterStep.
So, really, they all suit me just fine at some point. (Oh, I often tire of E... just too much stuff going on there.) My two cents...

I spy with my little eye something that begins with "W"... oops, it's gone now.

http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/cool.gif Window Maker http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/cool.gif, sometimes KDE2 on http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/cool.gif Slackware :cool.


How many of you are Blackbox or X-windows?


If you're using a window manager, you're most certainly using X http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif

[bkurt]

Kde2 on Slack 7.1. It rocks.

[Letalis]

Gnome + Sawfish.

[mandreko]

i'm using kde2 on one machine, and command line on my router.

oh, and unfortunately, the worst window manager ever, explorer.exe... (yes, a windows machine... ewww)

[Shad]

IceWM, GNOME/Sawfish, KDE/KDE2, Afterstep, WM, BlackBox, E, Sawfish, and Xfce. I really like Gnome and IceWM. I use them all just try something different.

[startiger2000]

Gnome/KDE which ever I feel like.

Not good enough yet to survive with out some sort of GUI.

At least with linux anyway.

[Mikenell]

I use Gnome/Sawfish with Debian woody.

[veloctTX]

I use HelixGnome with Enlightenment as the wm. The only reason is I like having some sort of taskbar to place some icons

[ph34r]

I used to use gnome, then blackbox, and now kde. Having a ton of memory (224mb) makes it easy to not worry about needing a lightweight wm.

[Derango]

Helix Gnome with Sawfish all the way. I haven't tried KDE2 yet though.

BB. Seems to be the best on a machine with 16 megs of RAM http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/eek.gif

E

[Kao]

I use KDE...

I havnt gotten time to checkout KDE2 yet =\ I am still struggling to get Rogers@home to work on Linux O.o

[BeardedDragon]

WM and console

[ndogg temp]

Another point for Window Maker from me (why oh why did Steve Jobs get rid of NeXT???). Window Maker is... It's Window Maker man, why do you need an explanation??!?!?!!! Actually, Window Maker is really GNUStep, so... But, whatever...

I think that GNOME looks better than KDE(2), but KDE, IMHO, is easier for a Windows user (it has been around for a lot longer than GNOME). Almost every thing in KDE is loosely integrated, and it looks a little like Windows as well.

------------------

[elinor]

mostly gnome

[Serbot]

I've just converted to IceWM. I like being able to run 30 programs at once with an extremely small amount of cpu power http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Gweedo]

I use KDE2. It suits my needs just fine. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[nathaniel]

I use gnome but it is so customized it really doesn't look like anything. but it does exactly what I wanted so it more than windows can say!! :-)

Alittle thought about the computer age and need to change what OS you try and sell. . .
Me (junior SA): hello?
Salesman: Hello, I was wondering if you'd be interested in buying software that makes sure that your servers have an up-time of 99%.
Me : um, not really we are pretty good here.
Saleman: Really, hum. Our servers monitering program will make sure your Windows server never goes down.
Me: we don't run Windows.
(Silence)(a cough)
Me: (cheaking the uptime date). The last time the servers were brought down was 9 monthes ago. Thats cause I updated their versions. . .

[Krycheck]

KDE2 now that I just got Mandrake7.2
And yes, Konqueror aunz http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[wmHardRock]

If my eyes are not hurting: Blackbox
If they are: Command line

Since I'm always in a term, call me a console slut

[forrest]

blackbox, with at least 1 xterm open at all times

[syn]

commandline on my 200 and 233, helix gnome on my 400 thanx

[teeitup]

It seems I always come back to Blackbox.

I'm trying out kde2 on another user account now. It's pretty, lots of makeup, but I'm not sure I'm willing to commit to it yet.

[BlvdKing]

I use Gnome/Enlightenment. It's my favorite WM. I use Gnome/Sawmill to back up on. I think Sawmill looks good.

[slim]

helix-gnome and alot of command line

[slayer17]

enlightenment....Is there really anything else.

[veloctTX]

Hell even with 256mb RAM and a 256mb Swap Partition, gnome/E will eventually swallow the whole 256 of RAM and start eating at the swap. So I am basically running E or BB from now on and I'm flying fast again. Of course once I get LM 7.2 I'll install EFM and probably use E exclusively. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Slackware 7.1, Gnome with Sawfish. I tried KDE and it just... I dunno, it pissed me off for reasons I'm still not clear on. But it must be cool, lots of people use it.

Maybe we can clear them up for you. It does work pretty well.
