Re: [ossig] Linux too much like Windows :)

	I beg to differ. Both copies the idea of this particular aqua-like 
theme, rounded curve from an obscure operating system known as OS X 
perhaps you heard of it. It is made by this company that sell a type of 
fruit.

	Sorry, just can't help it. ( Don't take it as an offense, it is just a 
joke).

	Seriously though, I don find them to have much, very much in the form 
os OSX in terms of theme. Besides, this is only comparing to Redhat and 
like of Lycoris. Take Mandrake for example, I still find it rather 
"Linux" like. And besides, with some distribution, you don't really 
need to use KDE or Gnome if you really don't want to. I been using 
Blackbox on my linux and BSD box for sometime and never really bother 
to used other windows manager that slow to start and take out so much 
space. After all, all I need is to browse the web, work on some 
document do some stuff over the company application ( which is web app 
in most cases).

	Linux is about choice, I am sure Redhat et al try to imitate windows 
and OS X to ease the switching experience. But quite frankly, as a 
seasoned user, you don't really have to use it if you don't want to.
