Have you ever seen the Enlightenment windows manager? That thing is pretty! 
But, functional? maybe not . I remember the early releases of Enlightenment 
and it was so awesome compared to all the other window managers for linux, but 
it was very displaycard/processor intensive. Linux is a great hacker OS, just 
not that great for mainstream use.

Most definitely. It's been a good while since I used/ran Renegade and I've 
thought of setting it up again just for grins. Maybe that'll be my summer 
project
