You could use fvwm95. Set up to look a lot like Win95 GUI.

Xfree86, I would think ... the i386 implementation of Xwindows. Not sure
about the most popular window manager, but it's likely fvwm or fvwm2/95.

In debian? "dpkg -i fvwm-*.deb" does it. Then you can fuggle around a
bit with the .fvwmrc file (VERY easy to understand). There is also a
debian-wide autoconfigurated menu system that lets an application add
itself to your mouse menus when it's installed; I don't use it, so I
don't know anything about it.

Well, KDE looks promising (www.kde.org), but it's not out of alpha yet.
