The truth about Linux?
Faust:
My twelve cents:
About a week ago I used nothing but KDE, gnome and IceWM because they looked familiar to me, being used to windows guis. All three are pretty good but now Im using enlightenment when I want looks, blackbox when i want speed and a terminal when I want to try and learn more... IMHO start with KDE, gnome and/or icewm until you are at least a little settled in, then choose which manager you want out of all o' them. :D I did notice that iceWM came on my mandrake distribution (and probably a lot of other distributions as well)with a mac theme... no idea which os it was a clone of because I havent used macs often but if you recognise it, you might want to use that (make you feel at home ;) )
Calum:
i posted a slightly modified screenshot of that theme in the screenshots thread and they told me it was MacOS8, but i found it a little sparse to be honest.
Faust:
Yeah I know, iceWM sucks. But it doesnt look too different from other os's out of the box so hey it might lessen the culture shock... as a newbie id recomend all newbies start with KDE ;)
Calum:
well, you know i'd recommend xfce for any newbie.
Faust:
What does xfce most resemble? (I cant find it in my rpm list)
No wait ive got it... I didnt really like this one but hey personal choice yeah? Strange that it doesnt show up under enlightenments window manager menu though...
