Typical user question answered on features.php

Browse Source 
I know this is not really the place to have such an answer, but
this question (and its assumed negative answer by many new users)
is so frequently associated with users switching back to KDE or whatever
that I felt like giving some visibility to the correct answer would
do some good.

<p>Despite all of these features, Window Maker is not resource intensive and remains stable across many UNIX varients.
It is extremely flexible, and many options can be included or excluded at compile time. This means that you can easily
tailor Window Maker to meet your needs; whether you're a minimalist wanting to save resources, or an extremist that
tailor Window Maker to meet your needs; whether you are a minimalist wanting to save resources, or an extremist that
likes to theme everything in sight. A screenshot of a typical Window Maker workspace is <a href="wmaker-screenshot.png" target=

<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.
You just need to 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> and you are just a click away to
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
inside a system tray on your dock. See for example the excellent <a href="http://dockapps.windowmaker.org/file.php/id/355">wmsystemtray</a>.</p>
