Gentoo.
Why do all fvwm users use gentoo (not all, i know, but its all i see)?
ahh, i dunno, i’m a Slackware user, but i never tried gentoo. I hear its great to adapt to your hardware.
PS: gentoo users, does any of you know if the Speedtouch 330 USB (PPPoE) modem works on Gentoo? I mean, REALLY work. I like slacky, but prolly the main reason i stick with it is coz its the only distro that runs my Modem…I like to try other things, but without internet, no way.

FVWM probably has a similarity with Gentoo: It’s very configurable, but at first it looks quite hard. So maybe it attracts especially Gentoo users, because the Gentooers are already used to hard configuration at the beginning?
If you have more questions, just PM me.
Gentoo !! 
Maybe because taviso ( THE taviso 
) is the package maintainer for Gentoo and started a huge thread on the Gentoo forums which attracted quite some new Fvwm users.
Gentoo’s Fvwm ebuild is also the only one I know of that includes the translucency patch by default 
[EDIT]Typos (yes, I noticed those soon cough)
I wasn’t sure if I had replied to this thread or not, but after furter review I havn’t so here goes.
At home I run gentoo linux on my 3 boxes, 2 with xorg7 and fvwm, usually they have the same config.
At work I have one box running Solaris 9 on which I’m trying to put fvwm. One box running gentoo without X (webserver), and 3 windows boxes for testing, and the fileserver for my group that got passed down to me. I’m in the process of planning to move that to a *NIX platform, but it’s quite heavily used and we want to eliminate downtime, so I might have to pre-load gentoo on another HDD on another machine and then pop it in and hope for the best.
anyway, that’s my story.

and it provided a lots of uesless applications.
Hi
After using debian in different flavors (stable, testing, unstable) and enjoying the “drawbacks” of each flavor I switch to ARCH LINUX! A very distro! Compiled for i686 and having a port system like FreeBSD allowing you to compile your packages as YOU want to!
@PEM: Arch linux is NOT kde oriented! And not gnome oriented also! You won’t find any of them in the current repository! That means, if they don’t come on the cd (fvwm does) and if you want to install kde or gnome you need additionnal repos…

Hi,
Im using unstable-LFS (unstable is more stable in LFS than "stable" in many other Distros *g*). Why? Theres a lot of very good Distros, Ive tried out a lot of them (f.e. Debian-SID, Arch, SMGL, Gentoo, Slackware-Current...) and one day I thought "If Source then pure" :slight_smile: ). Yes, LFS takes a lot of time (Updates and all the other things which will be done) but for me its a hobby and I like it to do everything by myself, to play with different Options, to try out this or that an so on.
Greetings

work > debian
gentoo on my main computer, debian on my older computers and a laptop because of the compile time.
I’m very happy about gentoo, especially there forum and wiki are very good.

Gentoo
I use Gentoo now; I have jumped through a progression that describes a move from binary to source:
RedHat in the old days long before Fedora; then Mandrake and SuSe for a bit of a play, then to Debian on my Web Server which prompted me to go with Ubuntu on the desktop recently and from there to Gentoo for the flexability which has been mentioned.
I have always favoured Gnome but used probably fvwm (certainly a very similar looking wm to the clean and minimalist fvwm style) way back in 1991 at Uni and now I don’t know why I ever went away…
OpenBSD everywhere
I run Gentoo on my desktop and other general purpose machines. I like
OpenBSD for dedicated boxes (but they don’t usually run a WM).
I’m running freebsd on my desktop
