<h2> Can I easily mount my external drives or connect to the internet with Window Maker?</h2>
<p> Yes, you can. Mounting external media is not the problem of a window manager to solve, but
a tipical Window Maker user can mount external media just as easily as any other desktop user.
If you use a dockapp like <a href="http://dockapps.windowmaker.org/file.php/id/275">wmvolman</a> or
<a href="http://dockapps.windowmaker.org/file.php/id/357">wmudmount</a> you are just a click away from
having your external media mounted on /media/VOLUME_LABEL.</p>
<p> And you can just as easily manage your network connections using the standard <code>nm-applet</code> running
in a system tray on your dock. See for example the excellent <a href="http://dockapps.windowmaker.org/file.php/id/355">wmsystemtray</a>.</p>
