==================================
If you'd like to try some really minimalist wm, my favorite is ion (no icons,
taskbar, or menues though). You might give haze a try also (it has some menues
that can very easily be edited). Blackbox is more full featured yet still
maintains a very small footprint.
As recommended above, try a bunch and find what suits the way you work. Try
getting more RAM as well (an additional 256 will likely cost you $50-$60)
HTH,
Mike
