Yes, I'm using Enlightenment which seems OK as long as you ignore all its excess baggage of themes, backgrounds etc. But for those with really minimalist tendencies there is on my (Mandrake) system a WM called TWM, for Tiny Window Manager. I've fiddled about with it and it doesn't appear very user friendly but might be worth some persistence.
IceWM is also small and rather nice; it's not as configurable as something like fvwm, but fvwm is daft because the configuration file is about nine megs :) Ice is Gnome-compliant, as well.
Incidentally I just got the Staroffice CD and was trying it out by editing a small document, thought things were a bit sluggish, checked memory use and found that of my 64mb RAM and 128mb swap Staroffice was using around 130mb! Do I need more memory or is this excessive??
I've just installed StarOffice on rorschach (my P166 laptop, 32MB), and it's horribly slow. I thought that it might be that it's not the fastest processor in the world, but perhaps it's just grotesquely inefficient or something. Anyone had any luck with it?
