Thanks to the wonderful people at Lifehacker, I've managed to run Linux on my Chromebook, giving me access to many offline features that are not possible with Chrome OS. Three issues though:
1. A simple question. According to the guide on the Lifehacker site (linked below). I can use the program to run xfce and Unity. What's the difference?
2. I've been installing packages and software with no problem, but when I explain my form of Linux to a friend, I get blank stares when I say "Precise." What exactly is it? And what exactly is the form of Linux that I'm running? (The guide's pictures are spot-on with my display.)
3. For the first time in my life, I've seen what Ubuntu looks like on my friend's Acer laptop (actual name, I'm not sure.) It looked much more simple and elegant than my make-shift. With the orange background and the black applications bar (or whatever the thing is). Is there any way to get that on my make-shift Linux?

This is the image of what I saw on my friend's laptop and fell in love with.
