Hi Tom,

I am curious: how do you handle wifi connections? Do you do things from
the command line, and then, where do you put in the passwords and other
codes? Or do you use wicd-tools or NetworkManager or the like? How
about bluetooth?

It appears that fvwm as well as enlightenment will be orphaned in F16.

Also, how does fvwm relate with fluxbox?

Best wishes,
Ranjan
