Trying to force myself to love gnome 3 on fedora. Getting there and actions are becoming more natural but this will take time to get used to. I...
The fabulous kubuntu with clementine playing my fave DnB track.
It will work and not mess up your Windows boot. I don't think you need the xforcevesa line. Just radeon.modeset=0 should do it. Make sure to...
I've got to agree, 11.04 is a polished release. The only changes i'd make is removing amarok for clementine. Amarok imo, is a nightmare to use....
Some xubuntu goodness.
I'm waiting delivery of a new card for my old tower so I can give full gnome 3 and unity a proper trial. It is ridiculous though, even win 7 with...
Encase you didn't notice my earlier post I'm using fallback mode not the shell. Grab a gtk3 theme from www.gnome-look.org and unpack it to...
I didn't experience the slow speeds in downloading as others. It took about 15 minutes for a direct download. Also it's a small iso at 565mb.
I've got a tip for creating panel launchers. Install gnome-tweak-tool and set nautilus to manage the desktop and you can drag an item from the...
So far i'm pleasantly surprised by gnome fallback. Coupled with gnome-tweak-tool, infinality fonts and gconf-editor one can achieve quite a good...
It takes a bit tweaking but you won't find more stable than good old debian. It's what I use as my main distro. On production machines an OS must...
I was never a huge fan of the faenza icons but these silver ones do look good with dark themes in particular.
Here you go mack. Faenza wolfe:- http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Faenza+Wolfe?content=133366
It's probably kernal mode setting (KMS) When the first grub screen appears press F6 and choose nomodeset and then boot.
I understand what you're saying. It's probably the reason why i distro hop a little too frequently for my poor old run-down desktop.
There's unity 2d in the repo for those of us with old cards. It's not bad. I don't like unity but the 2d performs well.
Having a play with ubuntu for fun.
Really not bothered by unity at all. I don't care for a desktop that needs composite enabled just to run. The classic mode however, is good old...
Yeah i've tried it and it's also very nice as are all the pclinuxos spins. All good choices for a desktop.
pclinuxos LXDE. A very nice distro indeed. Light and fast and everything just works.
:thumb: That's more like it Ocky ;D A brilliant original distro that is truely "light"
Dull is every other new distro being based on ubuntu. I can re-spin ubuntu with a different wallpaper and push it out as a new distro. Don't get...
Agreed. I fail to see what benefit there is in using this over an ubuntu mini-iso or debian netinstall.

Just use xfce and be happy. I have the occasional flirt with kde, gnome, fluxbox etc but nothing beats the middle ground that is xfce. It's full...
