Hello,

I want to use some classical window manager in UNIX system, however I just
know several like fvwm and nextstep. So can any one tell me some more?

And I hear about the Open Look is a classical WM under old Sun OS. Is
there any Open Look can run on Linux?

Thank you very much~

Amy

twm is pretty classic.

uwm would be even more classic, but is probably hard to find.

A collection of historical window managers is available from

Not so hard. It's in Debian.

I used to very much like CDE on the DEC Alpha with Tru64 Unix.
Unfortunately, it seems to be no longer available. XFCE seems to be a
little similar.

That's the UDE WM, not the Ultrix WM that was the standard WM
distributed with X before twm. See

I use fluxbox (fluxbox.sourceforge.net) on Linux, and I like it very
much. It's no `classic` in sense of age, but it's only WM with many nice
features, not high hardware requirements and easy to configure via
editing plain text configuration files.
