There have been some discussions here before about the Mezzo desktop, but none on how to implement it. I don't know if it exists separate from Symphony OS.

That's a good looking OS! If Ubuntu embraces it, or at least the ability to clone it, I definitely see more people turning heads towards Ubuntu and Linux. And I'm one to not care much about eye-candy.

Was thinking of replacing my 8GB Windows partition (which I never use) with Symphony OS (and possibly others, to just check out other distros), but then I saw those debs. Can anyone report on how well they work with Ubuntu (I know they're intended for Debian)?

EDIT: They work ok, at least for Breezy. Check out my post in this thread for instructions.
