Title: RE: [newbie] Linux-Mandrake 8.0 and WindowsXP

Hi There,

        If you go to www.kde-look.org you can get the Luna interface (but only for KDE 2.2 or higher)

        FYI You can also get the Acqua (MacOS X) theme if you really want it.  Also you can change the window decoration to system++ (I think) and you will have the classic MAC window decoration.  I'm using this at the moment and it's frickin' awesome.

 how do we get the Luna theme on Mandrake?  does it come with KDE
selection?  I really enjoyed and missed apple system 7.6, but Mac
computers usually are more expensive than pc.  If we can run mac theme on
Mandrake - that would be great!
