Red face Linux looks to Mac?
I know how I can make Windows look liek Mac with Stardock, but my dad won't let me buy the software, he's a real Windows person, and odesn;t liek to change anythign about it. So I'm wondering if there is any free software for Red Hat or Mandrake Linux that's like Stardock's Object Desktop, but for free. If so, I'll get WineHQ on Red Hat and say good bye to Windows for good, any help is appreciated

there's ways to make linux look like OSX, you need a AQUA like windows manager. Metacity, Kahakai, fluxbox..basically any wm has a AQUA like look. Next for the bottom bar that has icons grow you have (super)karamba, gdesklets starterbar and theres a evolution or something simillary named that has that capability. That'll get you looking like OSX the most. after that I'm not sure what else people do.
