Elive
If you want a Linux distribution with the look and feel of Mac OS X, then Elive is worth checking out. This Debian-based distro got its start as a live CD but the latest version, 1.0, works well as a typical hard drive installation. Elive uses Enlightenment as its windows manager, and has over 19,000 software packages available for download.
The project's Web site is a bit vague about what type of user is best served by this distro. "Elive is not made for newbies. Elive is not made for experienced people. Elive is not made for enterprises or personal user. Elive is art." Our experienced reviewer raved about it, and says it's "a solid distribution that can compete in the Ubuntu/Knoppix space."
