This is pretty impressive!!

pickarooney · 08-03-2011 11:05AM

In what way is it impressive?

MacGyver · 08-03-2011 11:09AM

in a 1998's way impressive

Am I missing something here?

Linux looks like Windows 98 is all I can make out.

Is Dude111 an elaborate spambot? Are you, Dude111?

syklops · 08-03-2011 06:07PM

If he had it looking like windows 7(which is truth be told visually appealing), then that would be impressive. Having it look like Windows 98 first edition, is just... wrong.

Hehe No not at all!! (I hate spammers)

Ah, there's something to be said for the pre-XP look. Maybe it's just nostalgia.

2.2.19 was actually released in 2001.

Either I'm missing something here or you got very low standards.

" Use linux without anyone knowing it!"

I am trying to figure out why ........

It looks like an attempt at a windows theme, but not a very good one, (you can get very convincing windows 7 themes for gnome)

Mmmmmmmmmm, Netscape

or packages like Macbuntu to look like OS X. I guess it's all fun at the end of the day. I tried stuff like this before, and it's fun until it gets in the way and you start to try things the GUI won't properly emulate (like menus are horrible in Macbuntu), then it's really annoying :mad:

Shows power and flexibility of Linux and all the many WM's and DE's

Heh, I remind my mam she's using linux every chance I get:
"You'll use it.... and by god YOU'LL LIKE IT! Now update your system!"

Galen · 18-03-2011 07:34AM

As far as I'm concerned, windows 98 was piece of crap and I certainly don't want to be reminded of it. Why would anyone go back to that when you can have linux mint or kde?

Dude111 · 23-03-2011 08:51AM

Win98se happens to be my favourite WIN os

(One of the best ever released)

Nicest Icons,etc........

Galen · 23-03-2011 09:42AM

There's no accounting for taste!

Webmonkey · 23-03-2011 10:10PM

I think you'd want to be pretty dumb not to realize that's not Windows!

Wait until a noob tries installing something :pac:

That's sweet! Can you download it and intall it on your own webserver? I know it's meant to be gimmicky, but if you could do file uploads and downloads on it it could be useful.

My favorite by far is Windows RG Edition.

I like the way the colour scheme in the Word application is the same one used by LibreOffice.

To my eyes, Windows7 looks very much like a rip-off of KDE4 :pac:

Why would you do that when it was possible to do the following several years ago (original screenshot from Feb 2007 -- blanked some details)

I find it kind of funny that you blocked out some personal info but display your DNA details in your sig
