After my previous misadventure, I decided to re-try an installation of the Awesome window manager on a stock Slackware 12.2 installation in VirtualBox. It didn’t work out.

I knew about Granular Linux only through Unity Linux. It ended up being a recommendation as a base system from which I could compile various window managers[doesn’t exist] for testing. Well, after having exhausted so many other distributions lately, I decided to give it a shot. Since I had been so dismissive of my earlier efforts, I decided to spend more time with this one.
Was to have switched to Unity Linux, but I don’t think it did.
