FVWM95 is a window manager for the X Window System based on the popular FVWM 2 window manager. It is similar to the original FVWM, but is designed to closely resemble the look of Windows 95.
FVWM95 was for a while a rather popular window manager; for example, Red Hat Linux 5.0 used it as the default. It is no longer as popular, nor is it well-maintained or included in modern Linux distributions. FVWM98 is a derivative of FVWM95 that is newer, and designed to look like Windows 98 instead of Windows 95.
FVWM95 was included in Debian since 2000 but was removed in 2006 because of incompatibility with UTF-8 character encoding system.
Similar window managers include Qvwm, IceWM and JWM.
