Debian version was “etch” (”testing” at that time).

System:
AMD64 3500+, 1024 DDR2-400, Geforce 6600GT
(but it runs on very old machines, try it out)

You can get all themes, styles, icons etc. on gnome-look dot org. The dockbar at the top is part of “gDesklets” (available on official repositories).

On gnome-look dot org, search for…
“dragon” (wallpaper)
“glassy” (icon set)
“dark” (color theme, I don’t remeber the exact name)

You can install everything with the default gnome theme manager.

There are a lot of users posting “this is ubuntu” – it’s not! The menu icon was part of the default ubuntu icon set I installed before (the new “glassy” icon set does not replace the menu button).

The XO-1, previously known as the $100 Laptop or Children’s Machine, is an inexpensive laptop computer intended to be distributed to children in developing countries around the world,[1] to provide them with access to knowledge, and opportunities to “explore, experiment and express themselves” (constructionist learning).[2] The laptop is developed by the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) social welfare organization, and manufactured by the Taiwanese computer company, Quanta Computer.
