Well, im finally done with KDE and Im moving on to fluxbox. My question is, i just did a fresh install of my gentoo and i just got done configuring Xfree and all that. KDM used to give me the option to boot into kde, gnome, waimea, enlightenment, or whatever other ones i had installed. Now, will XDM allow me to do the same thing once i emerge fluxbox, or am i going to have to do something different for that? Thanks in advance.

Since nobody has responded yet, I'll offer what little help I can.

I have found no evidence that xdm has the option to list different window managers, but because I have not used it much I could be mistaken. (1) You could look through the xdm how-tos on tldp (http://www.tldp.org/) (2) try wdm, kdm, or gdm instead or (3) get SuSE's xsplash and with a simple bash script you can launch different window managers from there.
