[SATLUG] Slackware Window Manager - Any suggestions?

[bryan at beicker.com]

i run icewm (www.icewm.org) on my pentium 166 machine.

surprisingly speedy :)

beware, many of the newer distro's optimize for i686 and faster cpu's
and may not work fully on a pentium classic. if in doubt, install the
minimal configuration and compile the rest by hand.
