It's pretty neat. I've only dabbled in Linux a little bit. My daily machine is a Mac. How do you change the default language in Ubuntu Linux though? It is a bit maddening that everything is in Chinese (Simplified, of course.). It's not in the normal place you'd go to look for it in Windows.

Does anybody know about the YLMF OS and can shed a little more light on it? The information I got from their badly Google translated webpage didn't tell me a whole lot.

I dont know anything about that particular version but there are tons of themes out there to make Ubuntu look like WinXP if that is what you are after. http://ubuntu.online02.com/node/14 is one interesting site but a quick google (http://www.google.com/search?q=windows+xp+theme+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a) returns tons of hits.
