Then there are couple of desktops which are themed based on the user audience ( http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2008/05/07/installing-four-other-desktop-edition-on-ubuntu/ ) Edubuntu - is based on both gnome and K desktop environment, but it’s designed for young users. Edubuntu also provides three different theme setups, ‘young’, for younger users, ‘plain’ for a clean desktop setup, and ‘default’, which is a general purpose theme setup. Gobuntu - strictly follows Free Software Foundation’s four freedoms. Which means there will be no firmware, drivers, applications, or content included in Gobuntu that does not include the full source or whose license does not provide the right to use, study, modify, and redistribute the body of work. Then the less known ones like Looking Glass - http://www.debianadmin.com/install-sun-looking-glass-desktop-environment-in-ubuntu.html gOS - http://www.thinkgos.com/index.html fluxbuntu - http://fluxbuntu.org/ (no recent releases) HTH - Nikhil On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 3:30 PM, BINNY THOMAS <binn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks a lot.
