Hi All,

Following on from the disscussion had at the last HLUG meeting about
using a P200 with 64MB of RAM for a firewall but required an X
installation to ease the administration.  I have come across the
following link to a mini-review of 4 window managers that require very
little in the way of raw speed to run:

It looks at, AfterStep (very nice, used it myself), Enlightenment, IceWM
and FVWM.  One that it doesn't mention is Fluxbox
(http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/) which also very lightweight.

Thanks
Mark
