Prettiest Looking Distro


Recommended Posts

Hey Gang,

Ive been a member of the board a while and I just got a second machine so I could get back into the Linux scene. I am a graphics designer by trade and I am all about the eye candy. But I am all about the features as well. So here is your chance to pass on your experience. I want to install a Linux distro that is UBER sexy right outta the box.

Any suggestions?

Since looks are so easily changed (install KDE/XFCE/Openbox/whatever) and select whatever theme you like, I am of the opinion that "out of the box" means nothing.

Many people think Gnome looks better than KDE, so I would recommend a Gnome-based distro. One that has a pretty default. Maybe Ubuntu or SUSE? Fedora, if its looks appeal to you.

But, like I said defaults are transient, and are changed with a mere couple of clicks.

I've used Ubuntu, Fedora, and LinuxMint. I quite like Mint, but its true, the degree of customization allows you to make anything look like anything else.

personally, I think gnome looks it's age...and the graphics really haven't changed for a long, long time.

KDe is much prettier. I also like Fluxbox, but it's very minimalist.

But ya, the customization is really good, so really, make it how you want.

What are the specs on the second machine. I mean that could determine a little more on what version of linux you would choose.

I have an older machine with Puppy Linux installed on it running XFCE-4.

I know but what Else would you run on a machine that has a 133 mhz processor and 128mb of memory and a 10 gig hard drive . With onboard Video/Sound and NIC.
