I don't think it looks so ugly. It looks like the mac classic default desktop. Anyone remember this? Also, if you ever configure X, this is what you see first off. The reason it shows the dots for so long is b/c your computer is slow. The faster the computer, the less time to see ugliness. If you get a fast enough computer, you won't see it anymore. So spring the $300 for a new computer. Also, if you spend $200 more and get a smokin' graphics card, I can guarantee that this will go away. Finally linux is compeditive w/ windows. We can solve all yer problems if you spend enough money. :) Fred Ollinger
