I wanted to go with KDE because it's pretty easy. This is a machine for some
technophobes. Myself, I like BlackBox -- it's fast. I never looked at the
memory footprint because my box has half a gig o' RAM. N'importe. But on the
Cyrix, dat's anudda can a woims. Would IceWM be a better choice for the non
techno-elite such as ourselves (hack, cough, cough)?
