Ladies and gentlemen, Allow me to post a about something that has prevented me from working today; the other day i installed the Ultimate Edition linux<http://ultimateedition.info/>flavor, and after playing around with it a bit, I got it to look and behave almost like a mac but still retain that deep dark linuxy feel! See the attached screenshot. This could be a stage I am going through :-)

Rahim, its definately Mac envy! I totally love macs but my banker won't let me get one, she says I cant afford it! Mugo, if I remember correctly, here's what I did: - The dock is thanks to Avant Window Navigator, https://launchpad.net/awnIt came pre-installed on Ultimate Edition linux - The background is thanks to google image search<http://images.google.co.ke/images?q=mac+os+wallpapers&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=6W7EStuVG4ev4Qa60LlB&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1> - The mac theme also came pre-installed on this linux, its called Glossy P But I am having some problems with the dock, it keeps losing the custom icons for the launchers I specified, so I might change to cairo dock. This seems like another day where I will not get anything done, thanks to steve jobs creating these awesome mac thingy's...

Try running the real thing on your pc with hackintosh flavours like iAtkos or Kalyway, if u luv macs that much.As for linux run it simple with openbox for speed and effeciency. On 10/1/09, Rahim Kara <skunkingrahim@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks Jamal for the tip, that is definitely my next project! The install guides i've read on the net highly recommend that one uses a legal copy of Mac OS X, let me ask around and see if I can 'acquire' one :-) On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 6:07 PM, Jamal Mohamed <jamal.worx@gmail.com> wrote:
