Having a netbook as my primary machine has many advantages: it's light, silent, has an integrated UPS, and I just unplug a few cables and put it in my backpack when I need to travel. The overhead of "modern" desktop environments can be pretty high: hundreds of MBs are not atypical.


But a window manager?Īntique hardware is not the only reason, and the window manager is not the only problem. I don't understand why anyone other than those on antique hardware care about this.
