GUI for RHEL5 on low memory system
I've got RHEL5 running in CLI mode on a powerful workstation. It was a Pentium Pro 200 Mhz, but was upgraded to the new Pentium II Overdrive 333 Mhz chip. This machine has 128 MB of RAM. The video card is an ATI Radeon 9250.

RHEL5 runs fine in 128 MB in CLI mode. It won't run in GUI mode however, and I can't blame it, I wouldn't even want to attempt Gnome or KDE with only 128 MB.

Does anyone know if there's a light weight GUI that will work with RHEL5? Xfce or Windowmaker or something like that? I'd prefer it to be available via a Yum repo, so I don't have to maintain it separately from the rest of the installed software.
