[Tfug] Best lightweight window manager?

[erich]

I'm partial to
    FVWM, because it allows you to display other desktops (such as KDE) 
over the
LAN that I have. It's very frugal with computer resources & looks good.

    XFCE is more sophisticated and takes more resources, but has file 
management
and calendar features.

    KDE is the works. It has nice features, but be very careful and have 
a clear idea
of exactly what features you want. KDE is bloatware. The whole cow will tax
computer resources.

These packages are installed on my machines. That's how I can say 
something about them.

By dual displays you mean Host:0/Host:1? If so that's a separate issue.
