housetier: by definition of beta and newbie, I wouldn't say it's a good idea to recommend a beta version to a newbie
Still, I also recommend ubuntu, but 8.04 instead
[edit] ok, 8.10 comes out of beta in 8 days. I guess that's not too bad, then. [/edit]-jgpaiva

I guess the only thing I'd need it to do is hide those damn minimized windows on the bottom of the screen, that can't be that difficult but... I don't even know where to start!Any replacement shell would do that for you.
Well, as far as I know there's nothing preventing you to use FARR as your system shell and NexusFile as your default file manager, so what are you waiting for?The shell takes care of a lot more than just launching programs. (DDE messaging, for example) so I don't think simply setting farr.exe as your shell is going to be a good idea.
most shell replacements haven't even been updated since 2-3 years!Litestep is still being developed and has the largest user base. Right now, Vista compatibility is still being worked on.
...ipv6 can bite my not-so-shiny not-so-\m/etal hiney, NAT'ing works fineSo will Network Address Translation save IPv4?
That would be Angelina Joli you're talking about? Hmmm...so you like that do you?Actually not really. My main beef with the movie fashion and porn business is that they are entire industries dedicated to convincing me that my wife is not the beautiful angel she is and has been for the past 17 years...-40hz
Part of the problem might be that there are more breweries than eggnoggeries, so there's more to discuss!I'll give you that one...-40hz
But what's big the deal? Eggnog...Ale...(Brunettes...Redheads...) why not just love and savor both?Well, you can keep your beer and the shot of rum for the eggnog as well, that's not my thing.-40hz
OK - I'm going to pour a very tall beer and drop a shooter of eggnog into it... as soon as I get some eggnog.hehe - let us know how it goes!-Darwin
Microsoft has kicked off a research project to create software that will take over when it retires Windows.
Called Midori, the cut-down operating system is radically different to Microsoft's older programs.
It is centred on the internet and does away with the dependencies that tie Windows to a single PC.
It is seen as Microsoft's answer to rivals' use of "virtualisation" as a way to solve many of the problems of modern-day computing.
...
When asked about Midori by BBC News, Microsoft issued a statement that said: "Midori is one of many incubation projects underway at Microsoft. It's simply a matter of being too early in the incubation to talk about it."
Besides what fodder said, there's also the illusion of minimalism that helps motivate users to become more productive.
