Lightweight GUI for Fedora?

Anyone using a different window manager to the default?

Looking for something that's quite lightweight as I won't have so much ram to spare for this VM.

XFCE if you're looking for a desktop environment. I took your question literally by suggesting a window manager in Fluxbox.

PekWM or Openbox are my favourites.

General use - but for Linux testing / admin mostly.
