Slackware 13.0 RC1 has been released. Or tagged. Or whatever you'd call it in the Slackware world. "The TODO isn't entirely empty here, but it's pretty much down to minor nits, and so we're going to call this release candidate #1 and (mostly) freeze further updates unless they happen to fix problems. Regarding the kernel, 2.6.29.x has been well tested with this userspace and seems like the best choice to ship for production use. Perhaps we can put something else (at least source and configs) in /testing, though."

In Slackware, there is no such thing as default window manager. In fact you may choose not to install any window managers at all. All installation is text-based and one of the last questions it asks is what window manager the user prefers. Later this can be changed with xwmconfig.
I for example installed slack 12.2 without any WM then compiled my own XFCE 4.6.0 (Slack 12.2 had 4.4) and used that.
Slack is too modular to complain about resource hogging.
