Using CentOS 4.4 on very old Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop; would like suggestions regarding using KDE/GNOME in low RAM and low disk situation

Hi;

  I'm new to the CentOS list and I only have experience with CentOS 4.3/4.4 on desktops.  I just installed CentOS 4.4 on a very old Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop.  I choose the desktop option and then deleted the kde and gnome packages because I have only 192mb RAM and 4gb disk (total).  I'd like suggestions on how to maximize the effective usage of the laptop with CentOS 4.4...as a minimum I want to do secure wireless web browsing.  If KDE or GNOME needs more disk/RAM than I have available is XCFE the only alternative to the bleak Motif experience?  I don't have any money to get a better laptop or to upgrade the RAM and/or disk at this time.

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
