If you install a major Linux distribu tion, you will probably get the KDE or GNOME desktop. But neither of the big guns is renowned for a frugal use of CPU and memory resources. If your system is short on power, you may be looking for an alternative. One of your options is JWM (Joe’s Window Manager) [1] . JWM (Figure 1) got its name from its developer, Joe Wingbermuehle. Joe made sure JWM does not rely on countless libraries, restricting dependencies to the X Window system only.
