That's the problem with screenshots - they never really give you much more of an impression of how the system works beyond mere eye candy and layout.
Of course, you could TECHNICALLY load anything that you wanted into any distro -- I was really tempted to load XGL on my ubuntu box just for the eye candy, but decided to save the cycles for more worthy tasks.
That's what my powerbook is for anyways ;)On 4/18/06, Gustin Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I hear you. Gnome gets in my way more than windows does, which I think
was intentional :)

Thats how I feel with Debian. The GUI tools in RH and SuSe do weird
things with the configs. Something that I can manage remotely over ssh
is far nicer. That and I don't like reinstalling my OS everytime a new
version comes out.

Thats what I like about VMware. I can try different versions with
little hassle. If I don't like it, it is easy to delete.
