I understand your frustration.I have an old powerbook laptop (Speed: 500MHz, RAM: 512MB). Mac OS X, GNOME, and KDE hogged to much resources. So I started from scratch and installed a base install of Debian. I then installed just the necessary packages and I am using a very very lightweight window manager called DWM (http://www.suckless.org/wiki/dwm).
I have to say, the screenshot has me intrigued. It's got a pleasingly geeky sort of retro text GUI look, like something Xerox PARC might have come up with in the 1970s. ;)
