I'm also very interested in a light wm. So.... X 3.x.x (can't remember the exact version) and FVWM would work well w/ a 486DX/100 and 24MB ram? 640x480x256. I need something for my laptop... Plus a lot of ssh work. Mutt + MTA/MDA + IMAP etc... Development work - C/C++/Python/Perl/Assy. Console stuff - Minicom etc. hmm... Is this enough of a machine to do this w/ a GUI? Anyone tried NanoX/Microwindows? TinyX? sim
