icewm is a window manager for the X Window System. The features of icewm are speed, simplicity, and not getting in the user's way.
I've been using IceWm for about 4 years. Love it. Its weak point? Documentation. What there is is old and mostly outdated.
Very configurable and user friendly.
best window manager
Beautifully simplistic; magnificent in structure, usability, and especially configurability. Perfect for low-end computers, and even I, with a quite powerful machine, can't stand to use anything but IceWM
Fast, efficient, ergonomic, great keyboard control.
Lightweight and full of features. Very easy configuration. The best WM around!!!
Super proga! Ice rulezzz!
ICEwm is outstanding. All programs should be so efficient and useful. Right now, it is running beautifully for me on an old 1999 laptop. Windows, KDE, and GNOME, although fine on modern boxes, were basically unusable on this laptop. (Although I do acknowledge that those latter 3 are all full desktop applications, unlike ICE).
Its shitting and fucking software because it works not on Windows7.
works nice together with vnc and RHEL4/5.
Using it since 2001. Very configurable. Really, Really, Really light. Unfortunately dead project - no compiz support, no dbus support. Yes, I know that it's meant to be light but nowadays these are required! Tought I'm still using it - it has unique feature that neither kde, gnome or xfce has (*box has this). This is the window/workspace mapping.
I started using it on Dapper (Ubuntu 6.06) about 2 years ago on a laptop w/ 64 MB ram--GNOME took forever, but IceWM was fairly decent. Now that laptop's dead and I am using a netbook; IceWM is still my favorite window manager, and it uses a lot less screen and RAM than many others. (Yes, I have tried FLWM, TWM, PWM, Openbox, and the like...)
