+xmonad (stable, featureful and easy tiling window manager for X11)
+
+xmonad is a dynamically tiling X11 window manager that is written
+and configured in Haskell. In a normal WM, you spend half your time
+aligning and searching for windows. xmonad makes work easier, by
+automating this.
+
+This requires ghc and X11-haskell from SlackBuilds.org.
+
+After installing, use 'xwmconfig' command to reselect xmonad as window
+manager, either as root to do system wide selection or as normal user
+to do user specific selection.
+
+To get you started, the most basic key bindings are:
+ mod-shift-return Launch xterm
+ mod-shift-q Quit xmonad
