Fluxbox/blackbox was even lighter. I think lightweight linux distributions, like damm small linux, could run faster than windows 9x. Unfortunately, easy to use, highly compatible, lightweight linux distros only became popular after the win9x era.

Actually, FVWM was lighter than even Blackbox, check it up.

On "highly compatible", well, you could run mandrake and send drakconf and KDE to the trash.

Mandrake was slow to boot on a 90's class machine compared to damn small linux. Also "run mandrake and send drakconf and KDE to the trash" doesn't ticks the "easy to use" box.
