Hi, I thought Linux had a visual OS like Windows, but im not sure. If someone would care to point me to it, please do so =).

Thanks

What do you mean by visual OS? Do you mean a graphical user interface? All linux distributions that I know of ship with a gui.

Take a look at these Mandrake Linux screenshots . Is that what you wanted to see?

it's called Xwindows. the version depends on your distro, most modern distros have swithched over to Xorg. Look for that in your packagemanager to install.,

Remember though, just because it has a gui is no reason to ignore the CLI.

I think a lightweight desktop manager (to allow icons and widgets) along with icewm themed (i used infidel2 overloaded) looks exactly like the windows toolbar, and has a similar desktop which you can custimize. Oh, and windows open up just like in Windows.
