Hi Gary,
  I did a quick package search and found about a dozen
window managers. Two that
 mentioned tiling explicitly in the short description are: 
  Bluetile
 Spectrwm 
  I think both twm and jwm support tiling. I haven't
used either in quite some
 time. These are very very simple wm's 
I have lists of window managers, and I
have even tried two fairly highly rated -- i3 and xmonad. I'm here to tell you, I
couldn't get either one to do a damn thing! This is, obviously, not a criticism of the
window managers. I'm looking for some brief instruction.
  I don't have any experience with the two the
package search turned up. 
Well, that would be helpful, if you had it.
Thanks for the help,
