I prefer the text console over X, whenever it is appropriate. The downside is, that my knowledge about X is very limited. I just installed kde which I use rarely ;-)
Now I'm trying to build an box for audio work, where kde is too heavy. So I would like to try out some lightweight windowmanagers. What is an easy way to start different window managers (so I can try them out)? I'm working on Debian unstable. I have seen things like xdm, but if possible I would prefer a solution that does *not* run on X, but starts X only when I ask it to. OK, I *could* live with a graphical login, if there's no easy text based solution. Which one is best to try out a number of different window managers? How do I add another one, or is it done automatically when installing a wm?
