OpenLook (olvwm) is a lightweight and old WM from SUN. I use it all the time.
Works well up to at least RH 5.0; I'll bet it works on today's 6.1. I have it
from the RH 4.2 days.

QVWM is very light on memory, and pretty fast. Also looks so much like Win32
it just might turn your stomach. http://www.qvwm.org

XFCE is a very sharp looking WM. I know our brain trust (like Adam and Bruce) 
swear by (not at) it, and I'm going to exercise it one of these days. It re-
minds me of CDE/Motif, but without the clunkiness, and with more (could there
have been less?) color. I think it ships with Mandrake, but you can always
try http://www.xfce.org
