I 'll be glad to get any links to download an old version of linux or any video clips related to my topic. You 'll be appreciated in my slides. Thank you!

MWM and TWM are included, giving you the original Unix type environment. Fluxbox window manager is the core of older computers running linux. And JWM is like Windows 98SE for linux. It makes comparing the evolution of GUI's as easy as logging out and logging back in (selecting a different WM). Really cool.
