my only gripe with linux is when installing things, maybe just because im used to windows too much
How about a Linux gallery?

Pick a package manager then learn to love it.
I like deb, and even use checkinstall, so that nothing on my machine isn't in the package manager.

Installing programs on Linux is a lot easier than it used to be. The new Ubuntu has made it a point and click affair and if you want to do anything special there are loads of helpful people out there.

I didn't grasp the concept of repositories at first - I originally thought they were just for libraries etc. Now I think its one of the best ideas since sliced bread.
75% of the stuff I grab now is via the repository.

I agree its the future i love just being able to grab want i need from the net
Too late! Prepare to be boarded.
I look forward to it!
Actually, yuck!
You don't happen to have any suggestions for my bottom panel do you? It looks awesome with nothing else open, but if you have a maximised window open it looks pretty tacky...I could change it to being opaque, but love the way that it looks with nothing open...conundrum!
See, tacky!
Maybe if you don't maximise anything
I've tried that...it makes things too small!!!
On another note, I've got Crunchbang suspending and hibernating, and resuming correctly; this has never happened for me in the past on any Linux distro - I'm truly stunned

Here's my Linux-Mint 7 (Gloria) setup... Just showing off the new folder/file emblems+menu (really for a guy in another thread)... Enjoy!!

I like the way you can mark your Wine version of Firefox with a respectable looking wine glass now!! Also being able to mark video folders with a decent quality symbol is sweet (see right). Funny how those folder names got all blurred - must be a Compiz effect

Out of interest, why are you running Firefox through Wine? Testing? iPlayer?

No iPlayer is native x64 GNU/Linux. I am running the "The Bat!" in Wine till I find a better native email client. I am still trying to figure out how to get http internet links to open in Firefox (rather than the broken IE install) - hence why I originally installed Firefox in Wine...

Ok, cheers. I knew there must be a sensible reason!
After resizing it looked horrible and crap so decided to make it a thumbnail linking thingy.
Also a lol i spent about 2 hours editing a conky script to my preferences.
Only one thing that isnt working correctly is the CPU Temp but should be working after a restart.
