You might check out another: xfce. It's on the Mandrake
disks somewhere. It's always being upgraded. You can
download new updates at http://www.xfce.org. xfce supports
up to ten desktops, has a file manager with drag and drop,
and uses less memory than either KDE or GNOME. There is
something to be said for lean & mean window managers,
especially when you have a not-so-fast machine as I do.

P.S. xfce also has cool sounds.
