gmenu2x is probably your best bet. It's a GUI that runs on the framebuffer using SDL, generally used to launch SDL applications. It's used on the zipit z2, gp2x etc (similar specs) mostly for launching emulators, music players etc.
Note: It's nothing like a proper desktop environment though.

I used to run KDE 1.x and GNOME 1.x and even Mozilla on a PC with 32MB of RAM. But that was ~15 years ago. I think modern Mozilla would refuse to run with that. You could probably try to run some lightweight WMs like IceWM or something.

possible because the E3 is not powerful enough..?
I don't know quite what sort of light you're thinking of using, but there is no way the E3 has anything like enough RAM to run a "standard" Linux graphical desktop environment.
The CPU may be slow, but without enough RAM you'll get nowhere.
