Yes, Mandrake offers up to 16 Virtual desktops (though I use KDE so maybe that's a KDE thing) with apps displayed by their respective window size but not special icons AFAIK.

I'll jump in here, in case it helps the general comparison newbies need to make.

RH9 used for about 5 months now..

1. The Package Management system works very well for adding programs in GUI-mode (tho I understand Mdk provide free online offerings that RH would charge for).

2. For productivity, I find the multiple desktops (+ consoles, of course) to be the *great* advance over WinXX. I use ten by default, and something that Gnome?/RH offers that I'd like to know about being available elsewhere, is the way the Workspace Switcher displays. Namely, different icons for the various programs open show on each Workspace, but also their relative window sizings, which makes for quick visual recognition & swapping between Workspaces. Does KDE/Mdk perform like this too? Mdk 8.2 did not, but you may reconvert me ;-)
