30 Days With Ubuntu Linux: Day 4

People don’t like change. One of the things that some people get hung up on is the look and feel of the desktop. More precisely, some Windows users who look at Ubuntu Linux get hung up on how it doesn’t look and feel like Windows. Well, it isn’t that difficult to customize the look and feel of Ubuntu Linux to make it be whatever you want it to be.

Before we dive into that, though, let’s recap yesterday’s post. I detailed my efforts–unsuccessful, fruitless efforts–at trying to get iTunes installed and functioning properly in Ubuntu so I would be able to sync my iPhone and iPad without having to reboot and switch over to Windows 7 first. There were a lot of comments, the vast majority of which focused either on alternative solutions for syncing music and photos with an iOS device, or offered helpful tips like “ditch the iPhone”.
