LiveCD config most like, works fine here, on a HD install. Probably, the LiveCD is in a slower, more conservative mode, to widen the hw compat as much as possible.

Config issue I think, I can't get it to do it now, but not sure how I turned it on or off :)

a bug, pure and simple.

Alpha transparency is a function of the X server, and is new for Xorg (at least, I think it's in the dev tree) but not in the released version.

It *used* to have spring loaded folders, but apple patented them...

Odd, a bug report would be useful.

I leave mine blank, I suppose it's a matter of taste :)

Agreed. Tinkering can be fun, but I'd rather be shooting, sailing, or riding, than just tinkering with the computer.

There's also crossover office, if you *must* have MS-Office, works very well. About as well as MS-Office ever does.

This is something that the GNOME folks have put a fair amount of effort into, (and received no small amount of flamage from many.)

SAMBA may or may not have been included in the LiveCD, although if not, it should have given some sort of error. I don't have an MS-Windows network here, but I share the HP 1200 over cups, and it works great. Not that that's relevent to your setup really.

Ubuntu went away from icons on the desktop (thank GHU!) but it's a setup-config issue. The still use them for somethings, like removable media.

GNOME dialogs are the same, non GNOME dialogs may differ.

What does the gimp's save dialog look like on OSX? How about Open Office?
