GNOME Art is a tool for downloading and installing GNOME themes from http://art.gnome.org/ website.
It provides a nice theme list with options to preview, download and install them.
To install ( under ubuntu ) just go to Synaptic Package Manager and search for gnome-art and install the package.
After you installed it go to System -> Preferences -> Art Manager.
I’m not a linux guru, I just enjoy playing around with it. My favorite distribution is ubuntu because most hardware just works after a fresh install.
However, my videocard uses what they call ´restricted drivers
My videocard is an ATI X1600 and ubuntu offers the drivers, but I was unable to enable the visual effects within ubuntu 7.10
After a google search I found a program called ENVY that automaticly installs ATI & Nvidia drivers for you.
You can find it here ; http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
I had some problems getting the flash player to work in the latest release of ubuntu (7.10) and did a search for it on google;
This site explains why it’s not working and how to fix it ;
