Hey, it's dave!

This puzzling exclamation aside, the new human theme they're including is lightyears ahead of the old human theme, and works well with the exception of firefox elements, where the dark brown buttons and drop-downs have black text.

I found this today. Looks like an even more noob-friendly distribution than Ubuntu or Mandriva. (in fact it's an Ubuntu-fork, thus compatible to its repositories) Very Vista-esque Start menu for the Windows-users out there.
It seems to have a better hardware compatibility than Ubuntu too.
The problem/bless is that it uses proprietary plugins out of the box, which doesn't quite match the Open Source philosophy, but seems to work. And that's what Average Joe wants from an OS right from the start. Gotta try to foist this on a friend of mine, whose PC has been all mixed up by a nice trojan. She's gonna be my guinea pig

(btw, guinea pig is "cochon d'Inde" in french)
