I run gnome2 at work. Machine is a celeron 466 with 64 megs of ram. I
use evolution for mail, and mozilla for the net. That's the heaviest
software I run. It runs ok unless I run both at the same time. I run
windowmaker on a laptop pentium 100 with 48 megs (even enlightenment
is usable). It's livable.

Lighter window managers and apps make a huge difference.
