Last week I did a clean install of xubuntu and added Chicago95 after seeing it on HN. Some impressions so far: - Their setup script/app makes the whole process very easy. I'm sure earlier on it was a bit rough to make all the changes, but it was very smooth now. I especially liked the nod with the classic 95 setup background picture (the old blue CD's etc). - Some parts feel right at home. I like the terminal, even giving the option of having a "C:" prompt at the start of the path. - Icons match things well for the default software, and there's a large catalog of icons you can use for your other apps. - The start menu obviously isn't perfect, but it's a "good enough" mix between the theme and usability. Likewise file manager isn't 100%, but the icons and overall look give enough of the theme that I don't care. - One thing I haven't got working yet was the "make your modern browser look like netscape navigator", which was disappointing. I'm using firefox but also tried the epiphany browser which I read somewhere was supposed to work with it. I'll try that more later. Overall I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's not for everyone (as the comments here make clear), but for me it's a simpler interface with a lot of nostalgia for a time when I just "got things done", so I'm happy to use it in my hobby gamedev projects to get me in the zone.
