If You trade the disc consumption for the configurability and flexibility, go install dwm.
Right now I installed awesome, which is a much better dwm. miernik@przehyba ~ $ ps -o %mem,args -p 25681 %MEM COMMAND 0.5 awesome miernik@przehyba ~ $ I don't need to install a whole programming language just to configure it, it has a powerfull but still intuitive ~/.awesomerc plain text file, no need to recompile anything to change config. What I plan to do is to build a linux image which is packed whole into an iniramfs image and boots from an USB flashdisk, all into RAM, and then after boot I remove the flashdisk, haveing the system all in RAMdisk, and then do XiP (execute in place) there. That's why I care about size - because RAM is about 25$ per GB now, so keeping the whole GHC in RAM costs 3$ wasted RAM space, and also power consumption (electricity cost) of the RAM chips. 3$ is not a lot, but it's also not nothing, 3$ here, 3$ there and I waste a lot of money. And money is time, so I want to waste less time, waiting for my applications to load from disk, by keeping it all in RAM all the time, and having no disk besides of RAMdisk on the machine. While I used xmonad for a few days, now I have awesome as my window manager since a few hours. Can you give me any reason in what xmonad is better then awesome, any reason to switch back?
