pidgin is gone

ooo is still 2.4

[Dark Star]

Yea OOO is still 2.4.1 while Mandriva has 3.0 Rc2 [darn no updates as of yet] ..

By the way Pidgin is there 2.5.2 no Empathy in Ubuntu !

That USB maker looks more or less like unetbootin ..

get community themes from here.

some themes like new wave and dark room are pretty slick

get them here

 

[Dark Star]

Why to get packages ? Better use gnome-look.org

 

[main_trouble]

Why to get packages ? Better use gnome-look.org

it is a slick process.

no need to download it on a folder /desktop and then drag it into Appearance window.

just a single click on the link and it gets done.
next thing needed is to select and apply the theme.
but since both ways end result is going to be exactly same ,
it all comes down to what is one comfortable with.

 

[Dark Star]

Why to copy it only to /desktop folder I never installed any theme using packages and that crap site doesn't list many distro like Arch, Sabayon , Mandriva an so on ..

Why to copy it only to /desktop folder I never installed any theme using packages and that crap site doesn't list many distro like Arch, Sabayon , Mandriva an so on ..

so does that make installing themes from that site a bad idea?
it was a post about an easy to install a few good themes in ubuntu.

how does Arch , Sabayon , Madriva come into discussion?

Ubuntu is great, its hardly a full day and here we go Kernel regression Linux Kernel Regression in Ubuntu 8.10. Upgrade Now! - Also applies to Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Edubuntu 8.10 - Softpedia Thank goodness I have Arch on my back

 

[psynaps3]

Arch doesn't use the linux kernel?

 

[Dark Star]

^^Why not ? Every Operating uses its own Kernel , Windows has its own , OSX depends on BSD for that, Linux has Linux kernel [universal to all Linux OS though OS Manufacturer tweak it to provide better results ]

[cool_cat]

but my linux ubuntu was already running on a custom compiled 2.6.26 kernel so no panic whatever for me !.also ,intrepid does not slow down for me.
