What really confuses me is the fact that you cannot make windows look like anything but windows, yet Mandrake (linux) can be made to look like anything you want (with Enlightenment) or it can look like winblows (KDE) but better. So where in the hell are these people getting off at? My statement here is that people that say Linux looks too much like winblows have not gained an understanding of the capabilities of Linux to be ANYTHING. In Enlightenment, the GUI changes with the theme. If you want a winblows theme, you just download one, and volia! the system is a winblows clone. Or you can go into KDE. Or you can download an Enlightenment theme that's totally alien to anything out there, and when you select that theme under E, your system becomes alien. Simple. One major reason I run E is because after several years I got absolutely sick of seeing nothing but square title bars. With E you have the ability to create title bars of any shape or color or texture you want. That's just one freedom that's supplied by Enlightenment. E's whole overall theme (if there is one) is freedom itself; freedom of the GUI. Since Linux requires you to understand what it's capabilities are before you can use them (duh, that applies to anything) the people that say it looks too much like winblows tend to annoy me. It seems that some people are so limited in their personal scope that they NEED a LACK of choice in order to function or exist. And that's all I'm going to say on this. --LX -- 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� Kernel 2.4.18-6mdk Mandrake Linux 8.2 Enlightenment 0.16.5-11mdk Evolution 1.0.2-5mdk Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같�
