Hi all.

This is my first post and I just installed Ubuntu on my second PC. Everything is working fine, so far. I saw an article in MaximumPC on how to get Ubuntu to install on an eeePC. The screenshot in the article made me want to check out Linux again.

Anyhow, I liked the look of the desktop in the article and was hoping it was the default desktop, but it doesn't appear to be. What I wanted to do was ask if aanyone here might be able to tell me how to get my Ubuntu desktop to look like the desktop in this picture.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks
John
