GNOME2: And I thought M$ was the only people ripping off Apple

I haven't used OSX but I've used Gnome for a few years now and I don't believe there has been any drastic changes in the looks. Maybe OSX copied Gnome? What specifically do you see that looks similar?

The dock, the home icon, the menu bar, the folder looks etc. Anyway, it was widely known that you could make either KDE or GNOME resemble Mac or Windows desktops so the default GNOME desktop may be a bit different. But who cares, as long as it's not M$ products we're talking about?

I am serious. I have always liked KDE better than Gnome although I have been using Gnome2 since installing RedHat 8.0. What exactly is the "dock"? Is it the top menu they show? If so, there is no top menu in RedHat's default installation of Gnome, I personally do not like that top menu. If fact I could get along just fine with one ICON and no menu at all. The ICON could be labeled any of the following "Eterm", "Konsole", "xterm". But I'm not normal.

This is a picture of the dock which is located at the bottom part of the desktop in OS X. However from what I recall you could switch it off in GNOME 1.4. As for the Konsole I know what you mean ;) . I'm trying to use it in OS X but Darwin is a bit more different in the command line so i'm still trying to learn it

Hmmm, I can't seem to get to the picture you linked to. Can't resolve the server name you used. Is there a typo?

Maybe I'm too idealistic, but I think they should come up with their own desktop metaphors. Alot of the programms and other stuff seem to be direct rips of software from other companies. Take for instance that extreemly iTunes looking Music player. It's even layed out the same.
I dunno, maybe it's so people will be attracted to the similarities between Linux desktops and other more popular OS's, but just because it's a better OS, dosn't justify ripping off someone elses look and feel.
From the looks of it, it seems to be a bizzare hybrid of OSX and Windows.
It would be neet to see a grupe program a whole new Desktop Environment, using an all new metaphore. Now that's competition and inovation!

doesnt almost all GUIs have that "dock".
