HOW TO: Make Ubuntu look like Mac OSX

Problem:
While Ubuntu's theme is great, I personally prefer the slick brushed metal look of a mac. This is a quick guide on how to change Ubuntu's theme to make it look like Mac OSX:
Solution:

1. Go to:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin/ and download the mac4lin package.

2. Right-click on the downloaded file and click "Extract here"

3. Open a terminal and browse to the newly created folder:
$cd Mac4Lin_v1.0_RC1
4. Execute the install script:
$./Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0_RC.sh
Thats it, just follow the prompts!

    Optionally, you can also click on the first box in the right frame on my blog (http://phoenix-ani.blogspot.com). You do not need to Sourceforge.net login id. All you need is a valid email id. Each vote is associated with an email id, which needs confirmation that you actually voted (you will get an email giving a confirmation link, so all you need to do is click it). The whole voting process takes just 3 clicks.

    I urge patrons to vote for Mac4Lin if they feel it should win. I once again thank everyone for their continued support, feedback and appreciation. Mac4Lin exists today because of you all :) Do spread the word around about this.
