There are a *ton* of windowmanagers. They all work.
http://xwinman.org/ provides a good list of options.
Most Linux systems *should* already have twm and mwm on them. twm is
about as lightweight as you can get - it also has almost no
"functionality" other than launch an xterm and exit.
A few choices I would consider that provide a good balance between
lightweight and usability:
- icewm
- xfce
- fvwm with fvwm-themes (using "windows XP-like" theme)
- flwm
