[Looking for] Tab-interface Distro


Hello Everyone,

I'm starting to hate gnome/kde/e17/.../windows/mac for their interface. The new EeePc's interface looks awsome, and simple at the same time.

I'm totally sold on the simple interface of it.
Now, how can I get it?

I'm downloading the EeePC iso from asus's website. (Not keeping my hopes up since it says source code, despite being an iso ... )

I've also discovered a Chinese based OS available called Linpus Lite, which does have the tabbed interface and a simple button to switch to a regular desktop. The problem is that it's a live cd, not installable.

Any advice is welcome.
Thank you,

Looks like it just uses IceWM as the interface. http://lnxg.ca/?Hardware:Asus_Eeepc_701:EeePC_Tips

True,
But I'm not a elite linux hacker...
Sure it's based on IceWM, but it's quite apparent that it has been heavily customized.

If I knew how, I would take the source code from Asus and compile it, but I don't :S
I wish I did though ...

I doubt it's source code customized. It's probably just config files. You might even just be able to use one of the downloadable themes on that page.

I've looked through it,
It's not there.

It's surely a customized version.

Anyways, if it was just a theme, I'm sure it would be easier to find on google.
