RPMs and FS layout (most applications that are pre-compiled are designed for
RedHat systems)

I'm the other way round on this one.... RedHat over Slackware (Debian over
RedHat mind you)

It's called QVWM if you want it - a window manager for X. Not seen anything
that even comes close otherwise. Nothing much installerwise.  RedHat5.2 has
the "nicest" installer I've ever seen for Linux mind you... now they fixed
