Blackbox icewm Another level or window maker have it on speed for window
managers
Try with these packages siag (spreadsheet and word processor) xfm(file
manager)

As far as win4lin. if you have the windows dlls wine runs word excell
and windows media player 6.4 (and as a plugin for netscape 4.08). I cant
imagine having a need for vmware or win4lin.
