I'm running Etch and XFCE on it currently. Want to see if I can install a supported version of Debian with a small window manager without the bloat of a full size X.

I seem to recall that, in the past at least, Damn Small Linux did not
use Xorg. A quick search tells me it might be Xvesa or Xfbdev, but
you'll need to check for yourself to be sure.
I recall trying to use Damn Small Linux to connect to a remote system
with this command:
X -query myremoteserver
It did not work, which is how I discovered that it wasn't using the X
server that I was used to on other Linux distros.
