Fluxbox is pretty cool but for some reason, I need a desktop. I really don't use much of the programs that come with it. I guess the feel of it really is what suits the taste.
The best things in life are free.

It is, but it's really slimmed down and light weight. I think it would be good for an older computer, personally I don't like it that much. It's too much of a hastle to do the simplest things like change the background. But that's just my opinion, I suggest trying it out for yourself.

for something lighter but still fairly easy, try Icewm.
