Perhaps. It's

I used to use Afterstep as a window manager back in the days when I was
running 20 Meg on a 486 DX2 66 MHz. It may have grown since then, but I bet
that it has a lot smaller foot print then KDE or GNOME. There are a number of
low memory window managers out there. I would say just look for windo

Of course it is, those are the two largest desktop managers there are.
Both have a memory footprint larger than your

Hello everyone!
I have a friend who I'm trying to introduce to Linux. I installed
Linux-Mandrake 7.1 on his system, and everything worked. However, it is
