I don't remember WindowMaker being on RH 5.1, but Gnome's definitely there,
and I think KDE is too.  Those could give you a nice look & feel.

I don't remember seeing it (but I wasn't looking), but it'd really surprise
me if Enlightenment isn't on the RH distro, since the dude that wrote it
works in their advanced development lab.  I'm pretty sure I saw an RPM for
AfterStep on there too.

(I have to keep putting these caveats in 'cause I'm not running RedHat
myself right now, but I set a RH 5.1 system up for a friend a couple of
months ago)
