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 don't have any experience with the two the package search turned up.

Hi Folks,

Once again I seek your experience and advice. I want a tiling window manager, and I have relatively few features: I'd like to be able to

* open an arbitrary number of "panes" and run something in them. Maybe some predefined layouts. 
* cycle the panes 
* drag one pane on top of another and have that be interpreted as a pane swap. 
* resize panes by dragging the boundaries. 

I have tried i3 and xmonad and I got no-f******-where with them. It is not clear to me why they didn't work, but I don't thing I want to spend the effort to find out, unless somebody has a very strong endorsement for either of them.

Anybody got any war stories about this that end with a victory?

Thanks for the help,

Chris.
