CDM Alternatives

CDM is described as 'Minimalistic, yet full-featured display manager that provides a fast, dialog-based login system without the overhead of the X Window System. Written in pure bash, CDM has almost no dependencies, yet supports multiple users/sessions and can start virtually any desktop environment' and is an app in the system & hardware category. There are more than 10 alternatives to CDM for Linux, BSD and Xfce. The best CDM alternative is Ly, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like CDM are LightDM, SDDM, emptty and SLiM.
