    I was thinking a minute ago about a new kind of operating system.
    I want to see an operating system that lets you edit/customize the entire layout and scheme on the desktop.
    Imagine this, Adobe Photoshop on your desktop as the background.
    All the tools and menus are hidden to leave just the image when you're not editing it.
    The toolbars, icons, menus and everything else on the computer can be edited and moved where ever the user desires.

    I'm really into graphic design and what-not, so something like this would be absolutely amazing.

    Is there already anything out there like this?

    If not, c'mon guys, get on it!

    What do you think?

    That's right. Only if you know how to configure it, you can even make it display everything upside-down.

    Why just Linux? Anything UNIX-like will do. *BSD for example. Linux is shit anyway. :)
    Check out FVWM, you can do anything to it. From this to this. :D

    hmm... who are you to say? and "anything UNIX-like" will NOT do. Solaris will not do, HP-UX will not do, Aix will not do, inix will not do... lol, Linux is not shit. :)

    but BSD is very good, only if you are very good. in this post, this computer user obviously has not heard of, or doesnt understand Linux/Unix and thats why he wants to ask. therefore we should recomend him Linux, not BSD. BSD is only good if you know how to work Linux already, i would know. and after installing every version of BSD, Linux is much easier... although BSD is better!

    Well, I've heard about Linux, but never researched the OS myself.
    I appreciate all the feed-back, guys.
