+1 on antiX, the latest version has a xfce DE, the previous..still 
available has Icewm..better for low mem useage. 

As David pointedd out, it is based on Debian with a 486 kernel. It is 
usefull, imho, to b able to install a base system, no X, and pick your 
DE or WM based on hardware. Distro's are convienient for providing this 
for you but the ability to do it yourself illustrates ..kernel+gnu tool 
chain +X, WM or DE asneeded.


I do prefer Debian for a base for my installs, I add TDE   , do not mix 
other DE or WM in.
