Speaking of choice, I just went looking for cairo-dock in
Linux Mint's repositories, and it's all in there.
Thinking of setting it up to show Mrs. vallor that she can
have a loverly [*] desktop experience with Linux Mint, one that
would rival her plain-Jane Apple desktop -- yet still be
familiar enough to avoid techno-angst.
Note that cairo-dock is superior to the Apple interface because
it is infinitely more customizable [**].
Anybody else using it?
[*] After Eliza Doolittle.
[**] That's not a word, but it should be.
