I recently decided to bring my old Presario 1220 our of retirement and make a small toy laptop to play around with. Unfortunately it's only a 200mhz/64mb RAM system with a 2.1gb harddrive. I would like to use X if possible but given the hardware limitations I really can't have a bloated featureful WM or FM and still have a usable laptop (after all if the GUI is slow I might as well install 98SE). What are your favorite ultra-light WM's and/or FMs? I'm just looking for something that does the job, looking nice would be an added benefit but I doubt I'll have a high color depth to play with anyway. ********************************************** Others have mentioned Blackbox and fluxbox, which would be my choices (in that order) for window managers. I have also briefly looked at Waimea, but not enough to comment. Re file managers, by far my favorite is rox-filer. The one in ports has a few dependencies, but if you have Linux compatibility enabled you might try just downloading it from its home page and installing it "straight."
