try kruiser, or LinNeighborhood, for KDE and GTK/GNOME respectively.

you need to keep track of the files the 'make install' installed. For most of
us, it's plainly impractical, that's why distributions WITHOUT package managers
are plain and simply BRAIN DEAD (read: SLACKWARE).
If you are asking for maintenance headaches, go and install a package from
.tar.gz, and experience the fun when your /usr/local/sbin fills up with
binaries and scripts you woudn't know squat where they came from.
if you want to be able to maintain a production system, go with any distro
with a package manager: and that means, redhat, mandrake, caldera, suse (they
use variants of RPM) or Debian which uses dpkg.

That's because window$ keeps track of the computer names it sees on the
network, so there's no need to set up a dns anymore, and the resolver of NT
knows what IP the computers on the network are. This is done via the
interaction of the DNS resolver, DHCP, and the SMB protocol that figures out
the computer names. Linux doesn't do that because it's not part of the
standard RFC of DHCP, that it should interact with the DNS resolver. For you
to do that, you need separate DNS/DHCP linkage apps installed.
