i use Ubuntu, as i prefer the gnome look (mac like) instead of KDE (windows like)

The thing with ubuntu, when you first install it, it looks all horrible, dull and brown. With a few simple tweaks you can make it look very nice.

Ubuntu is very nice, and if i dident have windows i would use it. the thing is though, i do have windows, and it does everything (nearly) that ubuntu can + more and with a lot less hassle. I am a fan of Linux and ubuntu, but im still sticking with windows.

I use Suse KDE 10.2 at school and i kinda like ubuntu better, though i have not messed with the appearance properties much. I wonder if i can since i dont have and admin accound. Is there a live version of Suse. I wanna mess around with it but i am happy with Ubuntu so i dont want to install it to try it.

openSUSE 10.2 downloads here: http://download.opensuse.org/

There is a Live DVD which is what I have been using recently. It takes a while to boot as expected but is suprisingly quick once loaded.

KDE is also very configurable, in fact it seems more configurable than GNOME. It also has the option by default to have a MAC OSX style Desktop menu bar at the top of the screen.
