It seems like KDE3 is pretty fine, but... it runs fine in older computers? It's still a Windows-GUI clone or does this version got more "personality"?
I'm asking these questions because I would like to install Linux on my
Old-World NuBus 6100/66MHz PowerMac (72MB RAM, 9.1GB HD, Sonnet G3 upgrade
card), but I'm still doubtful about some aspects of recent Linux distros...
I like Blackbox and iceWM for low-end machines, if you're going to run a GUI at all. Enough features for me, and low overhead. WindowMaker is a pretty good "middle ground" WM, I think. (I think it was the WindowMaker site that had a good comparison of about 7 mainstream WMs.) Full-blown environments are going to do a lot more, but demand a lot more resources too. It all depends on what you expect it to provide, and your workflow style.
