GUI's GUI's and more GUI's

GUI's ("gooies" Graphical User Interfaces) are what almost everybody uses to operate a PC.

But they aren’t all good...

Windows Xp made a real good improvement to the old grey look but it is still not so cool.

When Vista Aero came out you could see that they had been working hard at it, a really cool GUI that was easy to use and navigate with, apparently you could find all your files and folders at the touch of a button or so.
But there is one big disadvantage to it, very big.
IT TAKES 1G OF RAM JUST FOR THE GUI!!!!!!.

That is why I would go for the Mac GUI that is even easer to navigate with and is slick and smooth, only takes 64mb (tiger and below) of ram and is well easy to use and cool (compared to windows xp) .

But wait...
There is another better option...
UBUNTU
see this video:


And Ubuntu Beryl has a skin that looks and feels a lot like Vista Aero all in 512mb (But it works better with 1G) ram!

So what do you think Pls post your comments 8-)

Lynx

Fact: GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) are bad for geeks. The full-on GUIs of web browsers like Mozilla Firefox can be dangerous at times, + big on the memory req.s. So that's why there's lynx for linux. It's a very simple web browser that runs in - guess what? - the terminal. So now you can browse the web with 128k of RAM. Great!

mac4lin

Mac4Lin is a good set of themes and stuff for gnome, that imitates OS X, and does it quite well. You can find the homepage on google, i can't be bothered to give it to you! Well, reccomended for any mac GUI nerds switching to linux! Also, here is another good site for that kinda stuff.
