Awesome Tile window management compilation and installation

The first thing to explain here is the window Manager (Windows Manager) and the desktop environment (http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/16493.html ">desktop Environnement") Concept. The window manager is responsible for drawing the border of the window and handling the behavior of the window running, such as moving, minimizing. The desktop environment is a superset of the window manager, which uses the window manager and other software to provide a complete working environment. For example, GNOME is a desktop environment, using metacity as the window Manager by default.

So what is a tile window manager? In short, the so-called tile is that all of the windows will not overlap each other, but automatically resized so that they can just fill the entire screen. This is very different from the traditional concept of desktop environment, perhaps you will doubt how to work in this environment?

In fact, for Linux, which requires a large number of command line operating systems, tile-window management can greatly improve your productivity in many situations. For example, many times you need to open several shells. Under Gnome This means that several of them will block the command window, and most of the time if you want to see the contents of these windows at the same time, you have to bother to adjust their location and size. And you don't have to worry about these things when the tiles are underneath the window.

Another reason you might want to use tiling is to use it to adjust and switch windows almost without using a mouse. This is also a good choice for hardcore Linux enthusiasts and people who hate the use of laptop trackpad.
