   I have a VM running Debian 7.4 (Wheezy) with no window manager, decided I   
   wanted something simple, setup Fluxbox with xorg, was pretty easy to setup,   
   pretty simple, no frills, I suspect it uses little ram, loads in a heartbeat.   
   You can probably start with any base distro, install just the bare essentials   
   then add an x server and window manager of your choosing. there are sites that   
   only talk about window managers for linux.
