Try QVWM, FVWM or XFCE 3.8 and you'll see that a window manager doesn't 
have to be bloated.  All of those run nicely in 64 MB RAM and I have run 
QVWM and FVWM successfully on 32.  KDE otoh strains and groans in 64 MB.

Well, BSD isn't legitimately called "UNIX" anymore, but still.  BSD tools 
are lighter than GNU tools, and more efficient.  GNU itself is very 
bloated.
