Typical user question answered on features.php
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

<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>
