Mandrake 10.0 - Graphical desktop/FVWM based

fvwm 1.24r GPL An X Window System based window manager FVWM (the F stands for whatever you want, but the VWM stands for Virtual Window Manager) is a window manager for the X Window System. FVWM was derived from the twm window manager. FVWM is designed to minimize memory consumption, to provide window frames with a 3D look, and to provide a simple virtual desktop. FVWM can be configured to look like Motif. Install the fvwm package if you'd like to use the FVWM window manager. If you install fvwm, you'll also need to install fvwm2-icons.
fvwm2 2.4.17 GPL An improved version of the FVWM X-based window manager FVWM2 (the F stands for whatever you want, but the VWM stands for Virtual Window Manager) is an improved version of the FVWM window manager for the X Window System and shares the same characteristics as FVWM. Install the fvwm2 package if you'd like to use the FVWM2 window manager. If you install fvwm2, you'll also need to install fvwm2-icons.
fvwm2-gtk 2.4.17 GPL Gtk module for FVWM Gnome/GTK module for FVWM
fvwm2-icons 2.4.17 GPL Graphic files used by the FVWM and FVWM2 window managers The fvwm2-icons package contains icons, bitmaps and pixmaps used by the FVWM and FVWM2 X Window System window managers. You'll need to install fvwm2-icons if you are installing fvwm and/or fvwm2.

At the film company DreamWorks, Ed Leonard has ported the entire graphics animation department to Linux; Shrek was created on a “renderfarm” (a powerful, refrigerator-size rack of servers) that had 800 processors running Linux. Leonard took the money he saved by not having maintenance contracts and used it to buy far more inexpensive Linux PCs. He says the money he has saved will allow DreamWorks to replace desktops and the renderfarm every two years instead of every five. — Scott Berinato
