My RedHat box (originally 5.2, upgraded to 6.2) came with what appears to
have been FVWM95. I am guessing that when I upgraded to 6.2, it upgraded
FVWM to FVWM2 as that is what I'm now running. It saved my configuration
files, so I still have a Windows95 look and feel going on. My screenshot
might not be that professional, but you get the idea, hm?

This screenshot is a little less than a year old, but I'm lazy and that's
pretty much what my desktop still looks like.
I love FVWM in all its incarnations. :)
