Star Ubuntu: could do with a bit more work
Linked by Neil Lucock on Tue 22nd Feb 2005 22:17 UTC
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu I'd better start by admitting that I'm a fan of KDE. It's not because it works like Windows, but for the quality of the tools available. However, a GUI is just a way of doing something and I think I've been a bit dismissive of the Gnome desktop up to now. I read a few reviews of Ubuntu, looked at their web site and decided to have a look. I wanted a general purpose (desktop) distribution and an opportunity to get to know the Gnome utilities.

Try it, it's nice: http://livecd.gnustep.org

Yes, I have and its actually pretty nice. If there were a list of apps as long as gnome and kde I might give it a full-time try honestly I have always loved the gnustep look and feel.

Since many of these apps are cross-compatible (compilable) on Mac OSX I would have thunk Apple could throw these guys a bone and given a bit of support in adding apps since there are not a lot of native OSX GNU stuff available to supplement the X-based OSX fare which never, ever looks right running on a Mac.
