kde 4.1.1 on opensuse 11

 

Ubuntu 8.04.1

I like things simple, which is exactly what you see

 

Got gentoo installed on my system.Did a stage3 install, compiled my own kernel, kde etc. It took about three days to completely setup my box, kde taking more than 12 hours to compile .Though it took a long time to compile its worth it. I feel my system is more stable and responsive thanmy arch and so right now im stickin with gentoo. Here are two screenshots.

 

Did you install a split ebuild? I installed the most basic split ebuild, kdebase-startkde, and it only took a few hours on the laptop in my siggy. If you installed the most inclusive split ebuild or used the monolithic ebuild, it might've taken a long time though. The only annoying thing about using kdebase-startkde was that it really had nothing other than KDE, not even Konsole or Kscreensaver. But I think I prefer this method to Kubuntu, where the first thing I do is uninstall unnecessary packages.

 

thats pretty sexy... would you mind posting your conkyrc? (unless thats not conky...)

if i werent going with a minimalist install on my gentoo i would have to try out kde as ive been a gnome guy since day one... also where'd you get that menu? does kde just let you configure it (like fluxbox and such)?

 

Yes i installed all kde packages "emerge kde"and not split ebuilds.

very cool i like it alot

 

Thats quite beautiful

 

did some updating

 

Can anyone tell me how to theme KDE? lol
I'm a Kn00b.

 

Gentoo running gnome.

 

lol, does that remind you of something?

 

Ha ! very good Dude !

 

My desktop of the week. I love the elegant brit theme ^^

 

Very nice Ely....the only that would make it nicer is KDE )

 

I don't get good vibes from KDE that's why I'm not using it

 

I would set my desktop as Google from the shot taken. Anyone using my computer would get confused why they can't put anything on the computer, but that would include me as well
P.S. how did u get the apple theme? I tried to get it but failed badly...

 

mac4linux+gnome mac menu.

 

Might as well go buy a mac there...oh wait, you can't afford one? Hahha, I kid, I kid.

I just don't get the point of trying to mimic another OS' UI if its not going to function the same. Plus its just not the same...you'd might as well go get the real thing.

 

hmm...someone should write a set of apps to do that...

 

Fedora running on GNOME 2.22.3

Linux Mint 5 Elyssa XFCE
+ Compiz:

 

Looks very nice!

 

This one is nice.

 

Here we go, I finally got things setup to my liking on my X61s. I really wanted to go with a keyboard driven WM, but... I miss a sanely licensed Ion3.

That's Rezlooks Graphite for gtk2 and LineArt for Xfce.

 

That's wicked.

 

Linux Mint XFCE
hehe, I actually like the mint wallpapers

 

Almost done messing around with Mint XFCE..hehe,
That's Cairo Dock, Compiz, and Emerald.

 

I'm just trying out Ubuntu (beta 8.10). I'm a total Linux noob so this is what I came up with:

 

Looks nice, Thomas!

I like it! And, I'm a total Linux noob!~


Cin

 

Thanks Cin!

 

You might want to look at the linux mint menu or the slab menu.
Though, I think you'd be better off with Linux Mint .

 

Master Thomas, good to see you back in good graces with Mint I've been gaming a lot lately in Vista (besides working) kinda waiting on Intrepid final....seen a date? I've been remiss lately. Although I have just recently added a post to my Ubuntu Blog below

 

End of October I believe..I think even Halloween
I'm writing my own package manager so I've slowed down with the distro hopping for a bit

 

Heres mine, Ubuntu 8.04 on an IBM Thinkpad T41 (in need of an upgrade desperately)

I know its just a boring vista look-a-like, its only temp until i can be bothered changing it...just had to get rid of the basic gnome-ubuntu look

 

Back to Arch linux and gnome.





By the way, this is a nice imageshack uploader script. http://www.blog.solarwind.metafy.org/2008/01/06/imgupload-a-python-imageshack-uploader-script/

 

Check out the T400/500, they're pretty good.

 

After reading reviews, I'd wait a generation for them to fix the keyboard, or look into an X200 which appears to have less of the flexing issues from the thinner, perforated backplate. Either that or take a look at the Latitude E series.

 

The keyboard flex issues are overblown. I asked about this in the Lenovo forum, and people with T400/500s said you have to push pretty hard on the keys to tell that there's more flex than before.

The X200 is a completely different machine, and has a completely different purpose. I wouldn't buy it just for the keyboard.

Umm, the Latitudes are Dells...

 

Prol91.....were'dja get that wallypaper? very clean look

 

Maybe, I can't say for certain since I don't have one.

Yeah, but then, we don't know what direction he wants to go, either, and many times a T just doesn't offer someone a whole lot more than an X. Especially now that they have a full size keyboard, and the T no longer offers a Flexview option. The point of that comment was to let him know that while the X200 does have the same keyboard, it doesn't flex as much in case he does want something smaller this time around.

Thanks for clearing that up. The Latitudes are pretty close in quality to a Thinkpad, and not as ugly as they used to be.

 

They offer a much better price ;/

 

Don't remember wher I found it Zoid, so I uploaded it .

oh sweet, i'm getting it too, thanks

 

Cool. Go Bucks.

 

LOL. I've been poured down those ramps a few times....

 

Here is my desktop for Ubuntu 8.04 which I just installed this morning

 

This looks nice! Nice job!
