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

Maybe OSX copied Gnome?

What makes you think it's Linux and not Solaris? I believe Solaris is switching to Gnome as a default desktop environment. You've been able to run Gnome and I believe even KDE on Solaris for quite some time now. In fact if you look at the system details window that is open you will see the machine is a Sun Ultra 5 with an UltraSparc processor, running SunOS 5.9 (Solaris 9).

Hmm, let's see. What do those screenshots remind me of cause there's something really familiar about them! Could it be the OS X desktop? Could it? :D :D

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?

To get serious: having used both all I can say is that they are ages apart although I haven't used GNOME 2.0 yet. I think though that the dock appeared first in OS X and then in GNOME 1.4.* (correct me if I'm wrong). Apple's infamous menu bar and Finder though are a completely different story since they've been there from the beginning.

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. In 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.
