My machine has 32 Mb in RAM, so i have tested some. If you want the lightest
wm, BlackBox is the one as others have said. But if you want to put windows
users in front of it, you may want to try IceWM, as it could look more
familiar to them, even if it's not so light as BB.
There's Afterstep too. I haven't really used it for a long time, but as
someone said it looks very good and it's comfortable. And WindowMaker, which
it's not so lightweigth but it has very nice features.
And there's one of the most lightweight of all those, FVWM (and 95), but i
don't really like it. YMMV.
But one thing i like about Mandrake is that the menu system is windowmanager
independient, so all the menus will be roughly the same in all.
So, at the end, you'll have to test them all anyway :)
