I've tried Ratpoison and didn't care for it. I haven't tried lwm yet
but I see that it is available in /usr/pkgsrc, so I will give it a
try.

Note that I am not against using a window manager. For example,
I do like the Blackbox window manager and it children, particularly 
Waimea, I think that MWM is a pretty good window manager, although
it is not lightweight. I also like Sawfish, which I tried after I
realized that it has many of the same dependencies as Mozilla.

In any case, I think that this is one of the great things about
NetBSD, and Unix in general: you can really customize your environ-
ment to the way you prefer. We are in control. :)

Yeah, NetBSD will run on that.
