IceWM and Wmaker?

Postby cm1967 » Feb 26th, '12, 23:33

I've been a user of Linux for nearly 20 years. In those 20 years I've pretty much used Slackware and Debian, exclusively. Lately, I've been wanting to branch out, a bit, and give some new distributions a try. I read in the release notes (or maybe a review, can't quite remember) that mageia 2 beta includes IceWM and Wmaker? I went to the download section to grab the beta but only see Gnome and KDE versions. Are IceWM and Wmaker included in these two releases? I'm a minimalist when it comes to Linux, that's why I'm asking.

Thanks!

The beta is currently only available via the free dvd (besides network installation) which includes both KDE and GNOME, but also LXDE, IceWM, WindowMaker. You need to select those in individual package selection.
