hitest Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 here is my new ubuntu-6.06 desktop. I am having a little hardtime getting used to it. I may try and use it for a while. I am not really up for learning all of the ubuntu/debian tools for doing stuff,Looks good, shanenin! Is your system Ubuntu 6.06 with KDE installed or Kubuntu? Yes, agreed, it took me awhile to get used to the debian/ubuntu way of doing things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carnevil Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Yay, compiling java, there's nothing more fun than that. Hopefully there will be packages available for FreeBSD6.1 soon. The FreeBSD foundation spent an ass load of money to get a license agreement so the project could have packages for JDK1.5. That way we don't have to fetch the sources and patchset, such a pain. Manually fetching 4 differant packages just to compile java sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carnevil Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Arch linux 0.7.2 with the new 2.16.17 kernel. It's an alright distro, I've had a few problems, including X crashes and sound problems. But I've got most of those ironed out, I don't think I'll keep using this over FreeBSD, but it's nice. Here's some nice scenery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitest Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Okay, so I'm getting bored waiting for Patrick to release Slackware 11.0. I thought I'd give Dropline Gnome a try. I'm pleased to report that Dropline is a very mature, solid version of Gnome for Slackware. It is better than Freerock Gnome in my opnion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm doing very well, my friend! I really like the rain drop effect you've got going there, very cool! The forest scene with my ubuntu desktop is the stock desktop after you install ubuntu. Yes, I like it too. Yeah, I've been curious about edubuntu. Let me know if it is any good:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ham Blowfist Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Is Xubuntu any faster than Ubuntu 6.06?I don't really know, I guess it has to be. Though I'm just a noob,I know XFCE is lightweight and built for speed.There's no eye-candy and only minimal functionality built in -You're going to need to add a few Gnome or KDE apps to make in useful,(Gnomebaker for example).I can say that Xubuntu 6.06 at 750 MHz "feels" every bit as fast as SUSE10.1 on my xp2600. (of course SUSE is pretty feature-bloated). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
