I was looking through a Novatech leaflet/magaziney thing (where they advertise all their new pcs) about 2 years ago and one of the monitors had a modified Ubuntu desktop... could've just been gnome, but it had the panel at the top and bottom of the screen and I don't think all gnome dists have that as default do they? I like to think it was Ubuntu, cos that was when I was just getting into Linux etc. Does that count? It was a long time ago :D =============================== Farran Lee I'm only 15 :-P
