Dood, what you need is a different window manager....it's what makes everything look pretty. Redhat uses fvwm95 I believe, and if you want you can use that too...or you can use KDE which is really neat but takes a bit of work to install, or you can use WindowMaker which I'm trying to install myself at this moment. Can't seem to get the icons working though. *shrug* Anyways...take a look at: www.kde.org www.windowmaker.org www.afterstep.org www.enlightenment.org And choose whatever one looks coolest to you...although right now I'm preferring KDE...but that might change if I get WindowMaker's icons to work right.
