Op, just use arch Linux. It's what I use. Maybe a macbaby like yourself will have trouble with it, but it'll be good for you to learn how a computer really works.

Yes, but that tutorial is for beginners.

I would suggest using IceWM as another option for a win95 them.

>>54985636
if you want to learn how a computer really works you would learn comp sci, comp engineering, and unix/operating system design. you wouldnt understand much from putting together software a la LFS if you dont learn these things prior.

it's in one of the themes folders

it's something simple like "apple.png" or something

XFCE has an OS9 theme that gets distributed with it. You'd need to look around for the GTK theme though.

XFCE has a seperate xbm file for the background when it hits the words. You can look at the xfce4 folder I pushed for it's name.

oh, no, I didn't mean that kind of falling apart, I just mean in terms of visual consistency, it looks kind of weird browsing the colorful web through such a monochrome UI

too bad the old bitmapped look doesn't have that magical doesn't-look-like-shit-no-matter-what-colors-you-use quality like motif does, otherwise you could just add a little color to it and probably make it look way better in that regard
