I have a P200 with 64 MB that I want to use as a web and mail terminal for my kids. KDE is out of the question. What do people use?

Fluxbox. Small, fast, and the tabs are handy.

IceWM if they are used to Windows. It looks enough like a taskbar that nobody asks questions.

Went with IceWM and Firefox 0.8. Kids did not notice anything had changed, which I count as a win.
