There are 10s of thousdands of free softwares you can get by download. You can view and download them by opening the program "Synaptic Package Manager" or by clicking add/remove programs
For themes for ubuntus user interface (caled GNOME) check out www.gnome-look.org

one time i spent a whole day trying to make fedora core 4 look like osx. what a waist of my time that was. So i installed dreamlinux and it looks similar to osx, so that's what i'd do instead fo going through the trouble of finding the right themes, and icons.

You can also use the default theme Nimbus of Solaris 10 on Ubuntu though you'll have to work a little hard to find it. Although I was trying to upload it here but alas, the size is too big. It is a very nice theme. I cannot say what you feel about it but I definitely like it.

Maybe he just wanted a theme for ubuntu that mimicks mac os x but obviously has trouble speaking english. I found the below link to be the easiest to set up and use.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin
My actual desktop looks something like the below:

>I am even willing to bet money that there is more software for linux than for microsoft
That's incorrect, there is more software available for Windows than for any other operating system.
>You some kinda retard or something??
He's learning, and I'm guessing that you weren't born a genius either, so stop insulting him. Try and keep this professional.
