The Elive Linux distribution combines beauty with ease of use. Elive is based on Debian and uses Enlightenment as its windows manager, which gives the distribution a Mac OS X look and feel. Elive comes with dozens of easy-to-use desktop applications that just work.
Elive started as a live CD, but now at version 1.0 it works well as a standard hard drive installation. Click here to download ISO.

Windows Vista is a line of operating systems developed by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, Tablet PCs, and media center PCs. Prior to its announcement on July 22, 2005, Windows Vista was known by its codename "Longhorn."[4] Development was completed on November 8, 2006,
over the following three months it was released in stages to computer hardware and software manufacturers, business customers, and retail channels. On January 30, 2007, it was released worldwide,[5] and was made available for purchase and download from Microsoft's website.[6] The release of Windows Vista came more than five years after the introduction of its predecessor, Windows XP, the longest time span between successive releases of Microsoft Windows desktop operating systems.
Windows Vista contains many changes and new features, including an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and digital media between computers and devices. Windows Vista includes version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, which aims to make it significantly easier for software developers to write applications than with the traditional Windows API.
Microsoft's primary stated objective with Windows Vista, however, has been to improve the state of security in the Windows operating system.[7] One common criticism of Windows XP and its predecessors has been their commonly exploited security vulnerabilities and overall susceptibility to malware, viruses and buffer overflows. In light of this, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced in early 2002 a company-wide "Trustworthy Computing initiative" which aims to incorporate security work into every aspect of software development at the company. Microsoft stated that it prioritized improving the security of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 above finishing Windows Vista, thus delaying its completion.[8]
While these new features and security improvements have garnered positive reviews, Vista has also been the target of much criticism and negative press. Criticism of Windows Vista has targeted its high system requirements, its more restrictive licensing terms, the inclusion of a number of new digital rights management technologies aimed at restricting the copying of protected digital media, lack of compatibility with some pre-Vista hardware and software, and the number of authorization prompts for User Account Control. As a result of these and other issues, Windows Vista had seen initial adoption and satisfaction rates lower than Windows XP.[9] However, as of January 2009, it has been announced that Vista usage had surpassed Microsoft’s pre-launch two-year-out expectations of achieving 200 million users by an estimated 150 million.

Linux Vixta

Vixta is somewhere in between. The people behind Vixta wanted the prettiness of Windows Vista, but wanted to run Linux. They also wanted to make the user interface smooth and easy enough to use that other people who may be used to Windows would appreciate it.
Vixta's interface is a custom KDE mod, and when you install it, the first thing you'll notice is how much it really does look and feel like Windows. You get a single button to access your programs, settings, and desktop search. Additionally, there's a taskbar and widgets that all look like they could have been pulled directly from Vista.
In the end however, Vixta is definitely Linux. You don't install Windows apps (much as you might be tempted to), and you use open-source and Linux-friendly alternatives. Vixta may be attractive and open-source, but it's not the type of OS that you swap out for your friend's copy of Vista just to see if she notices. Still, if you're a Linux fan or looking for a distro that's a lot like Windows so you can get your feet wet, Vixta might be worth a shot.

I finally bought XCODE-LINUX. And I happily opened up Xcode 3.0 and started working. Life was good until I tried to get my SVN repositories (which are on a linux server) to play nicely with my Xcode projects.

I have successfully set up the repository settings (under SCM > Configure SCM Repositories...) and can download files from the popup window (SCM > Repositories). But when I try set up the SCM support for a project, the repository is grayed out.
