What desktop environments use fewer resources in Linux?

  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!

  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.
