+When you load up GNOME, you will notice that its interface is sober but well +designed: the GNOME menu limits itself to the tools you'll most likely use while +hiding the rest of the tools that probably confuses most of the users anyway. +The window decoration is simple, but gives a nice finished look. Configuration +options are limited at first sight and very easy to comprehend. Real +configuration gurus know that GNOME has a very extended configuration model, but +it is hidden from the interface because most users wouldn't need it anyway. +

+ +

+The GNOME project has multi-lingual documentation and a good network of related +sites where you can find the latest news about GNOME and GNOME tools. +

+If you are interested in using GNOME, don't hesitate to read the GNOME Configuration Guide. +

+Window Managers -XFCE +Fluxbox +

+The fluxbox window manager began its life as a spin-off of the blackbox window +manager. When you install fluxbox, you'll notice that it is a lot faster +than desktop environments. This of course isn't only true for fluxbox but for +most other window managers: their job is a lot simpler (in size) than those of a +desktop environment. +

+ +

+fluxbox offers the user with a simple interface for window managing, yet +supports everything (and more) you require: we aren't talking about window +minimalization and maximalization here (of course fluxbox supports that) but +about tabbed windows, stickyness, virtual desktops, hotkeys, ... +

+ +

+If you are interested in using fluxbox, don't hesitate to read the Fluxbox Configuration Guide. +
