For great fun, try running ubuntu unity: It has
drunk the mac koolaid and moved the menubar out
of all the apps, but to make things even more
interesting, it has also made the one menubar
shared by all the apps invisible. It doesn't
appear till you mouse over it, so if, for instance,
you are looking for the "File" button in firefox,
good luck finding it :-).

As near as I can tell the only thing unity is good
for is making gnome 3 look like a brilliantly
well designed, wonderful interface.
