Looking for opinions on wms I am wanting to try something new. In the past I have used blackbox,fluxbox,enlightenment ,icewm and currently I am using windowmaker, my favorite. I am particularly interested in Ratpoison is it much different than windowmaker ? Is it hard to learn? I can't seem to find much info on it.

apt-get install ratpoison wil give version 1.4, if you want version 1.4.1 you can compile it.
