I like i3 too, but I find that spectrwm has similar features but is better in some respects. I have a comparison of i3, dwm, xmonad, and spectrwm on my blog at http://www.acampbell.org.uk/serendipity/index.php?/archives/609-Four-tiling-window-managers-spectrwm,-i3,-dwm,-xmonad.html. There is quite a lot of other stuff about these window managers on my blog, including how to compile the latest version of spectrwm on Debian (the one in the repository is quite old). -- Anthony Campbell - a...@acampbell.org.uk http://www.acampbell.org.uk http://www.reviewbooks.org.uk http://www.skepticviews.org.uk http://www.acupuncturecourse.org.uk http://www.smashwords.com/profile.view/acampbell https://itunes.apple.com/ca/artist/anthony-campbell/id73235412 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
