    Nirmal,

    This looks pretty cool although my favorite green is from openSuse 10.3! I am loving it and is primary desktop at work!

    Off topic, your Google Ad below the title (square) and the WWSGD WP plugin for first timers are overlapping. I have to check mine to see if this is happening. Maybe moving the WWSGD message to appear at the bottom of the post might work. In fact, a pitch to subscribe might be better after they have read the post. :-)

    Looks refreshing like a mint, I prefer Ubunutu though and use it as a dual boot, but will try this out on a test machine soon.

    btw the University Update which gave you a trackback is a splogger

    @TechMalaya,
    Multimedia support is the best thing about this one.

    @Indyankk,

    @K-IntheHouse,
    I have made the changes, thanks for the find.

    @Keith,
    I didnt know that he was a splogger!

    This looks real soothing to eyes. Now I have to find some more space in my HDD to install this stuff and see. :)

    Keith is right that University update is a splogger.

  7. I will give a try to its Live CD.

    Ubuntu is user friendly, but I am not a fan of its brown color. Now that a blue version is available, I’ll take it for a spin.

    One Q, is it developed independently or by Canonical itself(makers of Ubuntu)?
