Fluxbox - http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/

what really rocks about fluxbox is its ability to "Tab" windows, take a look at these screenshots:

KDE3 runs pretty well for me on a p2-400, and the more recent releases are speeding it up even more, so much so that I'd recommend it to most people looking for a wm.

I personally have switched over to Fluxbox, mentioned by a previous poster, and haven't looked back. It starts up very quickly, it is minimalistic, and is very, very configurable. It's a nice WM to use if you know exactly how you want your desktop to act. If you're still undecided on behavior I'd suggest KDE =0

I like ul1984 already... I'm a fan of the various boxen, Blackbox being what I use on my FreeBSD workstation. Fluxbox is VERY similar as it was derived from Blackbox, but it has a few extras such as tabs. The boxen are very well suited for slower computers since they are very light. They're also good for minimalists like myself. hehehe
