I have been using Blackbox ever since I got into Debian, mostly because it is so small and fast. I use it with xterms, graphics, word processing and simulations. It's great for low power beasts. I had a problem with it only on one machine, where it routinely but spontaneously shut down X, and never had the time to investigate. For word processors I mostly use TeX in Emacs, and Abiword when I have to produce .docs and .rtfs. Abiword's a little buggy, though. Sometimes quits on opening a file, or hangs during a save or when producing a .ps

I've found the Blackbox window manager with the "minimal" style works
really well on ancient low-memory hardware, including things with only
8-bit displays. I wasn't trying to run much more than a bunch of xterms
& emacs though.
