KDE4 , the best choice if you want things to just work.

SLIM CD, without a graphical user interface for the advanced user.

LXDE Desktop, minimalistic desktop environment for low spec computers.

XFCE Desktop, a gtk based lightweight desktop environment for low spec computers.

KDE3, for the oldtimers.
