My older system only has 48 megs of RAM.

I made the mistake of asking for a distro earlier, because I am newb.

Now I realize that what I'm looking for is a window manager.

So, what window manager will be able to run on a box with 48 MB of RAM and not be super-slow?

Give a try to PekWM or OpenBox/Fluxbox.

Any *box window manager will do. My personal favorite is Fluxbox.

I think Marcel's suggestions in the article below are still valid.

I like blackbox. It's small and customizable
