I've been very happy with fvwm on both an ss5 and ss10 (both with a tgx
card) in the past.  Fvwm can be configured in a fairly minimalist and
resource light way for these older machines.

Speaking of doing graphical things on older machines.  I had pretty much
given up on doing any web browsing on this ss10 for a while now, after
having modern browsers such as mozilla be extremely slow on it.  A couple
of weeks ago I tried out Sun's Netscape 7 build on it, and found it to
actually be usable.  Surprising but true.
