From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

ngl I actually really like that. the start button popping out over the taskbar is a nice touch. what's the setup?
That's how windows Vista was.
Oh you're right, no wonder this looked kinda weird but kinda normal.
I have the theme files SOMEWHERE. It was Ubuntu 10.04 with a lot of Compiz and GNOME 2(?) Tweaks.
I haven't found a way to replicate that, yet. I'd love a start orb hanging off the taskbar in modern Cinnamon or something, but it doesn't seem possible.
