I want to get back to my old days and re-obtain my unix skills, I remember I installed a window manager wmii / wmii2 /mwm on my debian and started to learn unix/linux and now after some years not touching it and having to deal with gnome on redhat (because of my work) I feel like very weak in unix/linux. to me it does not make sense to work on desktop env as a unix admin. so is there any package I can install on fedora/redhat for the above window managers? or even a abetter window manager? sorry If I am posting here, it's because this is more about the window managers not specifically about redhat/fedora packages. but if somebody can also give me a hint on how to obtain the package and install on fedora/redhat I would appreciate it. thanks very much.
i often work with CDE in solaris... it's nice but "old school". i don't know how to handle software installation in redhat/fedora but there should be a package mangaer like "apt" in debian like distros... a quick google comes up with this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Yum
Does yum search wmii return anything? Linux package managers not only handle installing/removing/updating software, but also searching the available repositories.

Hello, everyone!
Is it possible to create a window in X11/WM, but override the position Window Manager sets for the window. I'm not sure how to use 'override_redirect' flag, and what to do in order to use it. But the problem with the flag is also that it probably will disable all decorations... (2 Replies)

I have a Java app that is deployed on several Unix systems. Until recently, starting it from the command line was no problem. A recent requirement is to deliver a desktop icon that will launch the app.
