Yes, as another poster said, apt is indeed ported to RPM. I use apt on Redhat exclusively... up2date can go to hell...

The fedora project (which started as an apt-repository) was just integrated into RH. Expect to see serious apt action in the next consumer release.
As for window managers, I've been very happy with KDE, though I also have fluxbox (and have had blackbox) as well as windowmaker and a bunch of other lighter ones around. I personally don't mind the eye candy and they run fast enough.
If you're worried about desktop performence... use the 2.6.0 test releases of the kernel. It is absolutely amazing increase in performence for the GUI elements. (Pre-emption is really nice...) not to mention the inbuild ALSA support...
