Completed going off tangent here.  I had a day off work today, and was
just messing around, and found something amazing - dwm - a single
binary windows manager!

http://dwm.suckless.org

I am using it now.  I just timed my lowly notebook, [6 years oldish]
from turning on, entering BIOS password, boot up (no X), start X into
dwm and then launch Dillo on the Internet... 38 seconds (timed from my
new Seiko watch as my old watch got smashed when I was knocked of my
bicycle on the way from work 7 weeks ago).

Took me a hour or so to get the hang of the thing how it works though:

Had to alter config.h to use 'xterm' and not 'st' terminal.

38 seconds... bloody ridiculous!   God knows how fast it is on a modern
day desktop.
