Depends on your skill sets and needs I guess. I run this on dual core 4 gig ram setup@biker:~

$ apt-cache policy fluxbox
fluxbox:
  Installed: 1.3.2-4
  Candidate: 1.3.2-4
  Version table:
 *** 1.3.2-4 0

Which desktop is suitable?

Hello

I think that would depend on your own personal preferences and what exactly you are looking for when you say "desktop", such as a lightweight but full desktop environment versus a simple window manager. You can find both along with some info about them, here:
