So basically Ubuntu with more icons? Can probably do this yourself in a couple hours. Just replace icons and install a new theme.

- holychiz 16y agosame question. Initially, I got the impression that they're building a new OS altogether, but the more I read, the more they seem to be just another Linux distro, albeit prettier. Perhaps the team needs to be more clear on what makes El-OS different/better as the current description is too vague.

And you've just saved yourself $10. Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/4cVN4.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4cVN4.jpg Edit: Dexter's available on a PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lallenlowe/dexter-ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dexter Postler's a little more difficult to get sudo apt-get install bzr bzr branch lp:postler (make sure you're logged in to lp) sudo apt-get install valac libunique-dev libunique-1.0-0 libwebkit-dev libwebkit-1.0-2 libnotify-dev libindicate-dev libdb4.7-dev msmtp (in my case, you may need build-essentials, python et al) ./waf configure ./waf sudo ./waf install Postler doesn't have a gnome menu icon but it does run if you Alt+F2 and run postler. Edit 2: Postler seems to be non-functioning. Latest and greatest screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/awG2V.jpg http://i.imgur.com/awG2V.jpg Enjoy.
