I know I like it and I've not got it installed right now, and I want to rectify that asap :) Don't change from Gnome Do if its working for you, I used it a long time and its very good, pointless changing just because everyone else uses Awn ;) Very clever use of Conky reporting from the server, I don't think I've seen that done before. I notice you type out the ssh connection in the terminal to your server, if you add a .bash-aliases file in ~/ you can then add a line like : alias sshserver="ssh - X -C server@xxxxxxxxxxx" save some typing :] Chuck in : alias aliases='gedit ~/.bash_aliases' For good measure too ;) > http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae232/davavanstone/Screenshotwood.png > > As for the Win7 theme, i do like it, and yes it could help the > transition for people moving from 7 to ubuntu etc but i think stick to > the simple taskbar at the bottom and my documents for the not too > computer savvy and all will be fine Yeah I've not encountered anyone yet that can't get used to the normal Gnome menu, its clean, simple and well organised.
