Alfie,

I have the XFCE window manager installed on my systems. I boot into XFCE on my 
low powered (p133) systems because it is light on memory usage, but can still 
run Gnome and KDE apps. On all the systems, I use XFCE's file manager, 
xftree. Xftree loads quickly, even when run from KDE and it does everything I 
need. XFCE also has a SMB browser called xfsamba that seems to work fairly 
well. XFCE is a small download at about 4mb for rpms. XFCE can be made the 
default xsession window manager, so from the graphical login screen like KDM, 
you can select default to run XFCE and still launch KDE or Gnome if you want. 
Give it a try and see what you think.
