What desktop environments use fewer resources in Linux?

I have to say hats off to WindowMaker. It's more resource-heavy than OpenBox or FluxBox, but I love dockapps.

Can't live without them anymore. They're live tiles way before Microsoft even thought of them.

Also, it's more functional than OpenBox by a mile, as well.

Have you tried running your dock stuff on those other WMs? You might be surprised.

I love Fluxbox. It only uses 10MB of RAM and runs just about anything you can imagine.

10MB is awfully close to the cache in my CPU!

if you want a nicely preconfigured openbox http://crunchbanglinux.org/ (debian)
