Debian Gnome + Beryl “3D-Desktop”
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Debian GNU/Linux with Gnome Desktop running Beryl/AIGLX for 3D desktop effects. Debian version was “etch” (“testing” at that time).
System:
AMD64 3500+, 1024 DDR2-400, Geforce 6600GT
(but it runs on very old machines, try it out)
You can get all themes, styles, icons etc. on gnome-look dot org. The dockbar at the top is part of “gDesklets” (available on official repositories).
On gnome-look dot org, search for…
“dragon” (wallpaper)
“glassy” (icon set)
“dark” (color theme, I don’t remeber the exact name)
You can install everything with the default gnome theme manager.
There are a lot of users posting “this is ubuntu” – it’s not! The menu icon was part of the default ubuntu icon set I installed before (the new “glassy” icon set does not replace the menu button).

Debian sucks for home, for servers I guess it is fine, but ubuntu is better for home.

Hey may, but the path to earning a system like that is to set it up yourself. Google is your homie.

I ended up with ubuntu because Debian couldn’t find my Wifi Card. Any other distros recommended. I DONT WANT KDE!

I can’t decide between debian or gentoo.

Nope, it also works on other systems that use X such as BSD distributions (eg. FreeBSD) .
You see, these is the sort of daft comments (ie. “Beryl only works on Linux”) you get when people call the whole operating system after the kernel.
GNU is an operating system and Linux is one of it’s kernels.

if you have a virtual machine like virtual box
you can have windows so you will be able to do whatever you want

true i also use linux i use fedora core 9 but i cant say it can replace windows for gameing… this plugins dont work 100% many games wont run and you need half of your life to set it up!
windows is a winner when it comes to games… not stability tho
