In Ubuntu 10.10, is it possible to vertically or horizontally tile several open windows, just like in Windows? Thanks!

You could try xmonad.

Install it so:

sudo apt-get -y install xmonad dwm-tools

The blog says that dmenu is the application launcher. There was also something called as poison or similar, but I cant recall it.

  • Thanks! Mine X window manager is Compiz not Xmonad. Is it possible to horizontally/vertically tile windows in Compiz? – Tim Feb 13 '11 at 18:25
  • oh, sorry for that, I havent used a tiling manager. there is one here: http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Grid. But before you do that, you can install compiz config settings manager from http://ubuntu-tweak.com/, and play around with the options in that. THere are lots of good tiling option, one even like the window peek on macs. – theTuxRacer Feb 14 '11 at 04:09
