Ratpoison a simple window manager that mimics the functionality of terminal multiplexers like GNU Screen and Tmux. Ratpoison has few dependencies, and does not require any that are not already contained within a full install of Slackware. There are no fancy graphics or other decorative gimmicks in Ratpoison.

Sdorfehs(presumably pronounced starfish) is a updated fork that extends the functionality of Ratpoison and provides eye candies such as: window frame gaps, virtual screens, and more. There is also the inclusion of a named pipe which accepts input that can be directed into the window manager bar. Many of the configuration options and functionality discussed above about Ratpoison are also applicable to Sdorfehs. Be sure to read the Sdorfehs man page for the options and features that differ. There is currently not a SlackBuild available for Sdorfehs but it can be found here along with build instructions: Sdorfehs Repoistory.
