openGEU - sunny Ubuntu - Overview

Hi,

Continuing the last week saga - gOS, now openGEU, in two weeks Wolvix.

openGEU is another fine distro; Ubuntu-based, simple and easy, running the lean and beautiful Enlightenment desktop. It has everything one might need, plus more.

Do take a look:

Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Cheers,
Mrk

P.S. I'm close to bleeding my bandwidth off, so I'm working on getting some more juice, but remember I wrote this in case dedoimedo.com gets off the air, which I hope will never happen ...

Hello,
Indeed. I just hope they answer quickly, otherwise I'll have to move to my bro's account - he's got some 2TB monthly ...

Hello,
Have they come up with a way to put different wallpaper on each cube side with icons for Ubuntu 7.10 yet? All the present solutions that I know of eventually lead to dead ends.

Do you think that they will have it in the coming Ubuntu revision?

I will look into it again-

But in the past the required libraries for the patched Nautilus and Eel packages could never be found.

 

@MrK; yes nice desktop and as you say: quick
Easy installer
I do like the graphics
The screen resolution would not adjust in vm 'till tools installed.

FOr anyone interested in trying a vm: right click the system bar at the "top" of the screen for other placement options

One issue for me with the default is the Thunar: unless I've mixed some configs; the "properties" option does not give the full path ?
Any other recommends re file manager?

For the perrennial noof: this makes cut and paste into Terminals a pain

What happened top your VMWare tools install pages?
Cant see them.

Hello,
The Linux Mint pages you mean?
Mrk

 

Ok
That'll do
I had thought there were some other pages in the other installation tutorials
Tell me you've changed the pages and I'm not having more frequent senior moments.
Regards
Looking forward to what you think of Wolven's distro.

I like xfce and so gave Sam a run: couldn't get some FF extensions set-up but probably some tweak somewhere dont know about.

regards.

 

Hello,
I don't think I've made any major change ... could be a senior moment.
I've made small cosmetic changes, but nothing too drastic...
Mrk

 

Damn
Yes: got confused with a symbolic link in my central processor to other sites.

oh oh : where am I now
