Hmm my P233-MMX with 96megs, running Gnome (Redhat 7.3) over VNC is not too
bad.  However the old laptop I got hold of (P120 24megs) really struggled
with Gnone (Redhat 6.2)  Swtich it wit blackbox on it, and it's now quite
responsive.

I've noticed KDE2 seems to be a slow window manager.  Is KDE3 any better, or
is it heading to the realms of a bloated window manager.
