More on Fink & X11

Man! I’m really enjoying this! I’ve now got a different window manager running on my Mac in X11. I’m using Blackbox. I’ve also setup Sawfish, but I like Blackbox better. I’ve got Blackbox using a style called BeOS. You can see both the built-in Quartz window manager and Blackbox running side-by-side in this picture (the link opens in a new window).
I plan on installing a few more styles and then continuing on with installing more open source apps. Only a geek could enjoy something like this so much. I certainly qualify as a geek then.
I actually got the Fluxbox window manager installed and running WITHOUT using Fink. I’ve learned how to edit the .xinitrc file, so it was easy to setup once it installed. I was worried that it wouldn’t be able to configure, but once I told it where to place the binary, it found all the libraries it needed. OK… time for bed. It’s late.
