Just installed Fedora 10. It comes with Gnome as the
default desktop of course. Previous versions of gdm
at least allowed me to select just WindowMaker, but
the option has been removed, as well (AFAICS) gdmsetup.
So will F10 allow me to use WindowMaker without having
to hack some deep internals ? If not I'll just revert
to F8. And if this trend continues I could as well
forget about Linux and use Windows. Is there any Linux
distro left that does not depend on all the *Kit crap ?
Ciao,

I am currently using FC9 and it allows me to select the window manager
of my choice on login. As I had FC7 in the machine previously, with fluxbox,
when I upgraded it seemed to kept it (or update it), so I had no problems.
I'm about to go FC10, but I will wait to see more answers to this query.
Have you got the FC WindowMaker package installed or is it a custom
-built version you have? The FC package should give you an extra
login option, but what do I know...

For what is worth, the procedure I usually follow is: I download the
netinstall FC ISO and customize the default package selection
unchecking everything. This leaves me with a barebones console-only
installation and I built up from there. Then you can install gdm, x11
and the wm of your choice. It doesn't require much hackery, just the
knowledge of the packages you need.
That said, perhaps that's too tinkery for you. Another option is
giving a try to XFCE. That's what I use since I find it gives me an
adequate balance between features and performance. There is a
ready-made XFCE spin of FC10 that you could try.
