Hi All, I'm running Mandrake Linux 7.2 and I just can't seem to figure out how to switch desktops. I don't want to use a graphical logon and everytime I use DrakConf it switches X back to 3.3.6... Is there a special command that I can issue from a prompt? Thanks all!

Hi all, I finally got the guts to install 6.0 and aside from a few petty error messages about missing MIME types on X startup all seems to be well. I still have a question if someone has some spare time: How does one change to a different window manager (i.e., Afterstep)? I have heard rumbling
