You can't go wrong with Blackbox (or fluxbox, which is very similar). It can look as detailed or as simple as you want. I use it on my low spec laptop and workstations. If you want a nice looking theme, I suggest 'AlmostX', but you might want to get rid of some of the gradients in it, as rendering them chew unnecessary CPU power. It's been quite usable on my p120 thinkpad. As far as file managers go, I would suggest perhaps XFtree from XFce. I've not used every file manager, but I have used this in the past, its been good and has a small footprint. You can assign file associations too. I've used these both in the past, in a sort of hybrid blackbox-xfce manner, and it served me well. Hope this helped, Brett Harris http://careers.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
