For tight ram systems, I use blackbox. It's very clean and FAST.

Why would you shiver over twm. I dumped all my wm's and now run twm

add more ram.. in cases with 64MB and below, swapping to disk more then
you have available memory really causes severe performance problems esp in
a GUI enviornment regaurdless of OS. and/or get another physical hdd to
swap to. or, run it off of NFS and run the swap from local disk. with a

also make sure that you caches are turned on in the bios. I ran into
sluggish performance a couple of months ago after a bios reset, and this
was it.
Of course, this gateway p120 is still about the same speed as my 486/50

He's running Corel, which means KDE with bells on. With only 24M he'll be
into swap before he touches the mouse.

It's kinda fast on my Athlon/500 :)

However, I ran a machine with exactly the same specs for
what windowmanager are you using in corel? and in redhat? i highly
reccomend AGAINST KDE on any 486 or any machine with less then 48MB ram. i
bet much of hte problem is kde taking up all the memory and the machine
has to swap to the end of helll to run any app :)

Bill,
Corel have a marvellous installer - I can get my laptop to look great with
it but it never even starts X with Debian. However, you do need to
recompile the kernel immediately you decide to stick with Corel because it
loads loads of irrelevenat stuff.
