I'm a happy BeOS refugee this morning after having just tried Simply GNUstep. Simply GNUstep is a new Operating System that runs on the latest Linux kernel compiled with the latest GNU compiler. This new OS is way more (perhaps by being less) than just-another-Linux-distribution. It aims to be similar, extremely similar, to Apple's OS X. However, Simply GNUstep, unlike OS X, will run on your PC. In fact, you can be running it in under 15 minutes from this very moment.

Someone whose name I know not said: "People will never try this GNUStep without something like Aqua!"
My fiance's reaction to Aqua after she got her OS 10.1 upgrade for Xmas: "Ugh, how do I turn all that stuff off?" Her UI is now no more than something much more colorful and prettier than WindoMaker with a drag-n-drop desktop and better icons...and it runs a bit quicker than full-blown Aqua.
