Hey Steve,
Good call. I took a look at TWM and FLWM and the look and workflow are not what I really want. I was pleasantly surprised with JWM. I thought I tried JWM with Antix and it used more memory than IceWM but I must have been wrong. I definitely need to give JWM on Debian a go.
I agree ice-wm.org does provide exhaustive details on IceWM components but a Debian apt-centric install and configuration guide showing how to edit the start menu and allow elevated permission apps to run would be nice.
Memory consumption without X and Ice-WM:
"I currently have Debian 6.7.12-amd64 running within a 300MB RAM/20GB Storage/2 Core Processor VM and consuming 63.7MB of RAM and 0MB SWAP as reported by HTOP."
For my needs a lightweight system is more about computer security, reducing attack surfaces, using code reviewed by as many developers as possible, and reducing telemetry. Both Debian and IceWM have a long history going back to the 1990s so that is a huge plus to me.
Thanks Steve.
