well to be honest there isnt alot to look at on my home PC other than basic things really


Mel - dont change anything on Linux yet cos you are not using an installtion just a live DVD version... your hard drive is actually blank... w'll get it all installed once I have teh full ISO downloaded

[EvilIvy]

what distro your on channy?

[Chantelle]

Erm this one is SUSE 10.0 although I think the Live CD might be 9.1

why do you reccommend another one worth trying??

Thats why I think the live CDs are great! you can just try it.

edit: I have used Redhat before and didnt think it was as good as suse but then again it was a year ago so I might not be being fair.

[EvilIvy]

well i worked on slackware, feodora and aurox. so far i liked slack the most =)

that does make alot of sense now as too why whenevr I laod it up its always new as if nothinsg changed

And I also didnt really understand why we was installing it again but now i realise

[Melissa]

Finally got it!!
Took me a while to work out how to do it on this strange thing had to use a built in program or something

Okay its still a little plain but well original I guess

[Chantelle]

?? you got it looking alot more funkier than that yesterday.

I lik that theme you put on

[Melissa]

I know but this sites been playing up loads

editokay how doi change the bar at bottom?????

[Grimm]

u use linux? is that linux? all i have is the bootable disk with basic linux. still, desktop looks really kool

[Chantelle]

yeah it is linux thats KDE on SuSe 10.1, the desktop side of things and aesthetics are good probably alot better than windows.. although some things just dont seem very intuitive which is what holds it back

Vista has alot of problems so i am using a system theme.. Everywhere on computer i have that my windows is Vista with all themes, but my windows basicaly is XP Proffesional =).. Preetyy long time ago i changed desktop , so here you go : http://img471.imageshack.us/img471/2928/sdesktopgl9.jpg ( Click on the picture to see in full size )

[Chantelle]

I did mntion it before :s

its nice

But you can tell its XP not vista, and unfortunateley without vista you miss aero , but id leave vista until sp1.. eta sept 07

[Darfin]

[Chantelle]

Is that XP aswell? just it kinda some of it looks like it like the clock and teh style xp app..

If it is XP its a pretty good theme to look like vista..

[Wanderer]

lol dar, i wonder why you have a drum set as ur desktop....lol

id put mine up here but idk how so

[Darfin]

No that's actually Vista.
I disabled alot of Vistas features to make it seem more like XP.

Vista sucks.
I hate it.
Don't get it.

Yeah thats Style XP. I was trying it out earlier to get rid of the Vista theme (which eats up way too much memory for my comp) but guess what?
It doesnt work with Vista! Whadda you know?

=_=

[Chantelle]

Do not worry come september time with SP1 and such it will start to be okay.

The same was said about XP..now its de factto.. For all its down points at the minut which are not all MSs fault to be fair its a lot to do with lazy programmers, Vista will take over soon and will be the next gen thing

If you want to get rid of the vista theme just put a basic apperance on it.

Drivers and compatability is something that will come when lazy hardware manufactureres and developers get their arses into 3rd gear.

Plus if course DX10 games.. :

If your system is good enough to handle it, DX 10 games is what will leave Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 for dust... not that NVIdia and ATi cant do that already. (although the cards cost nearly as much as the console )

[Darfin]

Well see, the damn Vista Upgrade Adviser thing told me that my system was capable of all versions of Vista.
So I got Home Premuim.

Positive Sides:
It looks cool
Boots my machine faster

Negative Sides:
Everything else.

I disabled the 3d Flipbook thing, Ive disabled taskbar live preview, Ive disabled the Aero Glass thing, and other stuff.
My comp still runs like horse-$h!t.

Oh, and it won't run LimeWire, JAMS Kt, X-Fire, Daemon Tools, and an older version of Tabit.

I'm sure theres other things but I can't think of em right now.
