I don't need any file-manager, desktop-manager, session manager.

Have you tried Xmonad?

yes, but it's written in Haskell, and I have serious problem supporting a Haskell compiler for { MIPS-I, MIPS-IV, MIPS32, HPPA2 }.

Don't 'awesome' or 'i3' fit the bill?

Unfortunately no.

I am interested to hear why not?

Not C well written and not coherent.
To make it support what I need I have to hack it heavily.

I have been using Debian for both servers and desktop for decades and I'm very happy with it. I only had a very brief period of running Ubuntu on a new laptop because of a hardware support problem but returned to Debian immediately once that was sorted out. I have used several Desktop environments over the years (KDE, XFCE, Gnome) but have pretty much settled on i3 now.
I have a virtual Windows machine on my laptop for the odd cases when I really need it.
I even converted my in-laws to Debian+XFCE when they started having problems with Windows changing on them al the time and they are pretty happy with it for their needs (web surfing, email, writing stuff, managing their pictures and a game of solitaire every ow and then). The switch has made my life a lot easier as I can now easily maintain their computers remotely via ssh without them having to do anything beyond turning it on.

Do your in-laws have a static IP address, or how do you solve this?
I too need to (and want to) babysit my father's PC.
