also for the old computer i would recommend xfce or, since you say they only need a few programs, you could go with
just Xorg + feh for the background + xfwm or openbox + a
light taskbar and a nice dock-bar (wbar or simdock) were
you will only put the applications they need to run.

An alternative would be IcecWM: Easily configurable menu,
good window managing, no bloat. But I can second XFCE,
too. Maybe you want to run XFCE 3 which has some look &
feel of CDE, is easily configurable and very fast. (I
use it on a 300 MHz P2 with similar requirements as you
mentioned, but without any "Flash").

There's a nice dock-like application for X which is used
by the FreeSBIE live system CD. I've got no FreeSBIE at
hand, nor can I remember the application's name, but I
think this would be interesting to you, too.



icewm is a nice lightweight wm (which I use) but with your hardware you might want to look at http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com/ it's an xfce4 based installation dvd which includes many precompiled package. There are notes for installing flash.
