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.

Tell people this is the new Mac OS and they'll explode in applause.

The shadows create an interesting effect when they collide with each other. Someone was having fun modifying the configuration values.

I don't want the "modern" look. I use XFCE because I want the gnome2 look'

I tried MATE but liked XFCE better. Also it looks like XFCE is beibg developws more actively.

I get that. I'm a GNOME / COSMI User, but XFCE is really one of my favorites, and I use it on all my VM's & low end hardware.
