In terms of look, most modern desktops can be themed/skinned to look mac-ish. Feel is a little harder. KDE can be set up to have a menubar at the top of the screen which shows the menus for the active windows, but that only works for KDE apps. If you want an environment similar to MacOS X, GNUstep is an implementation of the same underlying libraries, plus several of the same apps, but it looks and acts like NeXTStep/OpenStep rather than MacOS X. I'd probably go with KDE, but it depends on what you are looking for. } richard --Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
