now my question is there a puppy linux or a linux version availeble that gives you the all glass look for an older laptop tosiba satelite ifso please embed de download link in youre message
what i mean with all glass is this for windows 7 and 8 there are additional third party programs that gives you a glass look
i have a screenshot to let you see what i mean this is a link to that picture and i wonder if there is a linux distro that can give that look of full glass
IMO puppy is too much of a pain, and I'd prefer other distros (like cruchbang or antix) for use on an older, slower CPU/small RAM system. They run better than puppy IMO, and are easier to find documentation or other info if you want to make changes.
If its not that old a computer, maybe KDE 4.X would be a better choice. Its got more 'eye candy' out of the box than the simpler lighter desktop enviroments.
Please don't shout. Transparency is not a feature of Linux distros, but of the desktop environment you choose to use. Since you have old hardware I would go for a lightweight distribution, if it has to be a Puppy derivative try MacPup, but I would rather recommend to use Bodhi (which is based on Ubuntu). Both feature the lightweight Enlightemnent environment, which is fast and supports transparency.
