In truth, the purpose of the ee701 is to view mp4
lectures. I use VLC to view these. I tried to
use mplayer, but it needed the mp4 codec and the install
failed. So I would either have to add VLC to the mix,
or figure out why the mplayer codec install failed.
So anyway, what window manager to you recommend?
If you're not used to running a stand-alone window manager, maybe openbox is good as
it has the regular support for ~/.config/autostart, easy to edit config files, I think
it's being actively maintained (not sure) and should work well.
IceWM, I mention because of this good guide that I wrote:

It's very easy to use but it isn't actively maintained (although it's not dead
either).
