I read of another choice called (if i remember correctly) XPed. I am going to look this up myself over our holiday and see how well it works. It will give the machine a _very_ distinct XP look which should help new users work easier in "our" world. Again, I haven't used it but it looks promising.
I personally use Fluxbox and I also like IceWM. I use Fluxbox and Gkrellum on my old Compaq laptop (4130T, 133mhz, 32mb) and can say it suits my mobile needs.
