icewm is my personal choice for lower end machines.

Another option might we wmii, if you prefer using the mouse less - it
has some learning curve, but if you have a big screen is seems to work
great.

I have heard good things about XFCE, but it looks to CDEish for my
taste. Give it (and XUbuntu) a try.

Debian (and probably Ubuntu) has all of them. I don't know about Fedora
or OpenSuse.
