From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Op, now you have to report with pictures.
I will definitely come back with photos, I'm getting the Thinkpad on Friday or Saturday :-)
I'm also looking into customizing GRUB to look like this:
Edit: also planning on using this for my DE:
Plymouth would be what you're looking for. You'd have to find an XP theme or create one yourself.
Heads up, check out this project. It's pretty simple and you might be able to help out too! https://github.com/rozniak/xfce-winxp-tc
I actually just tried installing it yesterday on Debian, I was able to build everything successfully, but I couldn't figure out how to actually apply the theme. Unfortunately, the developer hasn't written a guide for it yet. Would you be able to help me? Looking forward to your reply!
It's a bit weird; it's not a theme, but an application. You have to run the programs it builds and add them to your startup (i.e. the WinXP taskbar, etc)
