Manhattan OS comes with basically everything you need and looks simply amazing so if you want to convert a friend to Linux, this is the distro you should suggest. Sure, if you're a geek who likes to customize and install everything for himself, this may not seem like much but remember that most people never customize anything more than the background so the default application selection and look is very important.
Firstly, the basics: Manhattan OS is based on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx (GNOME), but it also uses the Plasma Desktop from KDE. The version which we reviewed (Beta 1) uses Kernel 2.6.32-23 and more up to date packages than in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx such as Pidgin 2.7.1, Evolution 2.30 and so on.
As you can notice in the screenshot in the beginning of the post, Manhattan OS comes with Avant Window Navigator with DockBarX for the task manager as a complete bottom panel replacement. Docky fans will probably be a bit dissapointed by this but unfortunately Docky can't fully replace a GNOME panel yet. But they will be glad to know that GNOME Do comes by default and is set up to run at start up.
