I am planning to purchase a new laptop and one of the options i am considering is to buy an Apple to avoid the hassle of installing and configuring Linux on a PC.

I would like to use a simple window manager (preferably mwm, fvwm would be an alternative) over a normal UNIX. So these are the questions I'd like to ask:

*) is such a szenario possible? I know i could do it with Linux, but not without some really nasty fiddling with the installation programs as i do NOT want any of the fancy KDE, GNOME or whatever-desktop solutions, just a plain windowmanager and nothing else. Can i deinstall/disable the Mac desktop and just use a windowmanager?

*) even if not using a desktop software will i still be able to use features like suspend-to-disk?

*) can i enable/disable this desktop preference on a per-user-basis?

*) is it possible to replace this ridiculous 1-button-mouse by a standard X-Windows-mouse with 3 buttons?

Many thanks for helping a PC-illiterate AIX admin out.
