Right now I'm using KDE3 default. I tried some of the other WMs but I'm too new to get my HDs mounted so I can grab some wallpaper. KDE3 has the HDs right on the desktop at startup. When I get more Linux knowlege, I'll try out some of the others. My older PPro200 SMP box would appreciate the recuced code. However, while running SMP, KDE3 doesn't seem to slow me down too much as I have the equivalent of a PII 360 now.

As for converting windoze slaves to Linux, it's a tough row to hoe. My geekiest friend stubbornly won't even consider it. He says he likes XPpro and IE6 and he simply won't run any thing else on his box.
