Впечатления очень хорошие. Hе баггистый.
Ставится сам, но при этом коректно :)
Говоришь Installme и он компилируется, делает дефолтовые
настройкиi: это только для тех юзеров, которых сам укажешь.
Для хороших впечатлений желательно:
1. цвет >=16 бит на точку
2. поставить NeXTaw вместо libXaw & libXaw3d
3. поставить tkstep
4. поставить Afterstep Control panel
5. пользовать asmail вместо xbiff
Последняя версия AfterStep 1.0pre7.
from FAQ:
AfterStep is a Window Manager for X that emulates the NEXTSTEP look
and feel, which many adepts will tell you is not only the most
visually pleasant interface, but also one of the most functional and
intuitive out there.
1. NEXTSTEP-alike title bar, title buttons, borders and corners.
2. AfterStep's Wharf is a much worked-out version of GoodStuff. To
avoid copyright complications it is not called a `dock.'
3. NEXTSTEP style menus. However the menus are not controlled by
applications, they are more of pop-up service lists on the root
window.
4. NEXTSTEP style icons. The default icons are consistent with those
in the NEXTSTEP interface, but they are configurable.
However, the flexibility of fvwm was not traded off. The initiation
file, ~/.steprc, recognizes most of the fvwm 1.24r commands. Virtual
screens and the pager are still intact. fvwm modules should work just
fine.
Compatibility with fvwm-2 is not planned.
The latest version is available at
<http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/zamboni/afterstep/FAQ.html>.
The main AfterStep resources in the net are:
The official WWW page is at <http://afterstep.edoc.com>.
<ftp://afterstep.foo.net/pub/AfterStep/>.
<ftp://afterstep.foo.net/incoming/>.
You can get AfterStep from either the WWW page or the FTP site.
