How to make Ubuntu look like Mac OSX
Just days after Mark Shuttleworth asked the Linux desktop community make pretty things, Make Tech Easier has come along and created a UI for Ubuntu that looks just like Mac OSX.
It's pretty astounding how quickly this was able to be done. Now if only someone could port all the necessary apps.

He is co-founder of MuleSource and currently serves as the general manager of Hardy Way. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET.
