Mac4Lin brings OS X eye candy to Linux
Mac4Lin works on a variety of Linux flavors, including Ubuntu 9.04 and GNOME 2.26, but there's no KDE version (yet). A lot of third-party apps that use GTK for skinning, like Firefox and Songbird, look great in Mac4Lin. An unstall script is also included in the latest version, in case you decent you don't like the OS X look, and you'd rather go back to your default UI.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.

I just ran this on an Ubuntu VM I have, eh. Fonts are still wonky and it seemed a bit buggy -- but a cool concept.

I forgot to tell one thing.Lin-X is actually based on Ubuntu and hence we can assure the security and usability it brings.
This is the details about the OS they have given on their site http://lin-x.info/
Lin-X is an OS based off of the most popular Linux distribution, Ubuntu.
Lin-X looks like Mac OSX and shares many of the same features. With Lin-X you get the security and stability of Ubuntu with the feel of OSX.
Because Lin-X is based off of Ubuntu it shares the same repositories and update manager, along with the release dates Unlike other Linux distributions Lin-X comes jam-packed with loads of “i-candy”.
It is one of the only OS that comes with the Compiz Fusion customized and ready to go right out of the box, giving you outstanding graphics right after installation. Lin-X is fully functional when booting from the live DVD and runs blazingly fast without loosing any features.
Lin-X is free to download off the web with only $15(USD) email support and $20 (USD) for us to send you a DVD.
About the Creators:
Lin-X was created by Robert Johnson, and Christopher Carmichael of Panama City, FL in March of 2009.
They can be contacted at their Lin-X emails:
Christoper Carmichael- admin@lin-x.info
Robert Johnson- bobby@lin-x.info
so try this out and post your opinions about this os in DLS comment section.
