I highly suggest Dreamlinux for all those who want a really nice mac-type graphical eye candy interface

Anyone used it?

There was a um, thread about it a while back: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread51605.html

Never used it. There's actually tons of distros that I'd like to try but haven't got the time. Maybe someday...

For now I use Debian/Gentoo.

I just downloaded and burned a live CD, I have failed to get any live CD and wireless card to work together, so that wasn't a surprise. What was a surprise was I couldn't use the XGL-whatever thing they had, and I really wanted to try it out. Other than that it looked very slick.

The only bad news about this is that they lost over half their developers a few weeks back. That's going to stifle development quite a bit.
