For people who doesn't know what Pear Linux is:

Pear Linux is a French Ubuntu-based desktop Linux distribution. Some of its features include ease-of-use, custom user interface with a Mac OS X-style dockbar, and out-of-the-box support for many popular multimedia codecs.

Excerpt from Distrowatch.

When this Linux Distribution came out, I immediately went to the website and found out that Pear Linux is actually Mac OSX with a pear.

enter image description here

I was going to download it and install Pear Linux as a triple-boot on my computer (Windows and Ubuntu installed).

Then I remembered that Pear Linux is Ubuntu based. So I thought of a better Idea of installing only the Comice OS Shell in Ubuntu(the Desktop environment of Pear Linux), so that I can select that in the login screen.

Is that possible?

EDIt: Found this.

I installed few environments that I wanted to try out on Ubuntu 12.04, but none of them worked at all.
