Very Computer

How can I change the default windows manager for X?  I have a Redhat
6.2 server running Xfree 4.01.  Right now I guess it is using TWM.  I
looked at the xinitrc file and it says it is starting TWM and then 2
xterm windows, a clock, and a login screen.  I want to use something
(anything) else.  So how can i change it?  I only want to change it for
the console login root.  Thanks for any help.

Before you buy.

Lets say you have installed one of my favorites; Blackbox.  You could create
a .xinitrc file in root's home and put in something like "exec blackbox".
Blackbox also does windowmaker dockapps.  You could download a few dockapps
and populate those with commands like "sleep 1 && wmCalClock &" to start a
nice dockapp clock application or perhaps one to monitor system stuff like
wmsysmon.  The exec blackbox line should be the very last line in the
.xinitrc you create and it should not have a "&" following the entry.
