Seeing fvm2 mentioned makes me ask what is the best (read
fastest/functional) window manager for X when running a low resource
machine?  I going to be setting up a P133/144MB laptop to take home with
me, I think gnome will be too slow and I don't really need all the
extras that come with it.  Have played with sawfish (was sawmill) and
really like it's minimal screen and multiple work spaces.

Anyone care to share comparisons/experiences with other window managers?

thanks
Steve.
(Hoping he hasn't just started ww3 with a wholly war on best window
manager:)
