Kubuntu 11.10 may be configured to look and act almost exactly like GNOME 2.x and is still officially supported by Canonical. I switched due to Unity/GNOME 3 and wish I had done so a long time ago. You can configure the desktop to show icons, have multiple fully-customizable panels, a traditional main menu, etc. No need to install Compiz either, as the built in compositing window manager has most of the same plugins and uses hardware acceleration. Themes are ridiculously customizable, more than GNOME 2.x and can be be browsed, sorted by rating and downloaded/installed from the native GUI. See my desktop here: http://www.eightvirtues.com/misc/Kubuntu%2011.10.jpg It took me a day or two of going through settings and experimenting with panels before I had it set up properly. Once it was, I was happier than I'd ever been with my OS. No reason to look back for me. -- Kevin Fishburne Eight Virtues www: http://sales.eightvirtues.com e-mail: sa...@eightvirtues.com phone: (770) 853-6271 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
