 From what I heard, XFCE wasn't really that much lighter than Gnome2 or 
KDE, but I haven't checked in a while.  I just did a quick search and 
found this pdf which I'll have to take some time to look through:

http://www.pclosmag.com/pdf/Gtk-Xfce-LXDE-SE.pdf

In the overviews, it mentions that XFCE runs well on a Pentium III with 
256MB of RAM and LXDE is "even capable of running on a Pentium II with 
128MB of RAM.

Let the desktop wars begin... <g>  (or is that only "desktop choice"?)
