Mac4lin




We all know that if we want to buy a Macintosh, we are going to have to shell out quite a bit of money. Most macs are priced around 1,000 $ unless you go for the mac mini. However if you are using a Linux distribution you can pretty much get your desktop to look exactly like Leopard. This is really easy and doesn't require expert knowledge at computers or Linux. There is a project called Mac4lin which bundles (along with instructions) themes and other useful tools to get your linux desktop looking like a mac.

Optionally, you can also click on the first box in the right frame on my blog (http://phoenix-ani.blogspot.com). You do not need to Sourceforge.net login id. All you need is a valid email id. Each vote is associated with an email id, which needs confirmation that you actually voted (you will get an email giving a confirmation link, so all you need to do is click it). The whole voting process takes just 3 clicks.

I urge patrons to vote for Mac4Lin if they feel it should win. Mac4Lin is completing with projects like Xbox Media Center (XBMC) etc. I once again thank everyone for their continued support, feedback and appreciation. Mac4Lin exists today because of you all :) Do spread the word around about this.
