blackbox

[Scott]

Blackbox is really cool, especially for older systems, due to its 
extremely light memory footprint.  Fluxbox went a step further to reduce 
that footprint, making it good for the occasional 486.  I haven't tried 
it on a 386 (does anyone still have one of those?) but I wouldn't doubt 
that it would have a preferable performance rate on 'em.  Fluxbox also 
has a ton of themes.
