I used to have an old 486-50 with 32MB of RAM that was quite happy with
FVWM95. It was not noticeably any slower than it was with Windows. IceWM is
also very easy on resources. I have used that on a few P-90 64MB machines
with no problems. Distro shouldn't matter, as how much stuff you are loading
seems to be the main factor for performance.
