For a visual and feature-wise comparison of window managers, try the
Window Managers for X page
http://www.plig.org/xwinman/
...though note that features not evident in static screenshots can make
a tremendous differnce. My pick is WindowMaker. For a MS Windoze
background newbie I'd suggest KDE and/or Gnome, in about that order.
Blackbox is also cool. Olwm is based off of Sun's OpenLook window
manager. Bretty bletchly IMO.

A file manager isn't essential. ls, cp, rm, and mv will get you a long
way <g>. However, there are several drag'n'drop file managers.
