How about a Linux gallery?

i spent yesterday (last night) setting up my new gentoo install... so i finally get to post in here *yay*

i used the new gentoo graphical installer (as i couldn't be bothered w/ the old fashioned way) and it was really quite nice. until it kinda stopped at the end. so, i just restarted the machine and the install has seemed nice and stable since. however, i had to manually set up some stuff like xdm starting at boot etc. no problems since though *touch wood*

oh, and i'm really impressed w/ gnome. think i'll be playing with xgl/compiz later on.
 
been using kde for the last few weeks, never really liked it but after making it look a bit better, it's 100x better than gnome. i feel so dirty :(

ugh, no offence but i just can't stand kde. just something about it, a bad vibe perhaps?

I never could but after finding all those 'I wish I could do that' niggles in gnome could be done in kde, I was sold. I knew gnome had a reputation of over-simplifying it's UI, but it's not since I've given KDE the time it deserves that I realised how much.

certainly sounds fair enough, but i'm going to stick it out with gnome :S i wanted to set up the xgl compiz stuff today but i'm having to compile firefox and then update the whole system which is taking an age :s

I dont know if that was the intent, but that looks like Vista. :p

Im not a fan of KDE myself. I used it on a few Knoppix disks and found its layout/functionality a bit contradictory at times. I like Gnome in Ubuntu because its simple enough for it to just 'work'.
Each to their own though. :)
 
I finally managed to get 64bit Dapper installed and working properly. Damn Opera for not being 64 bit :p

First time i've used linux so i'm pretty noobish at the moment.

nooooooooo :eek:

linux is not windows :(

not sure why people change to linux saying "I'm fed up with windows etc" and then make linux look exactly the same :confused:

but, out of interest what are those images at the top of firefox?

To be fair I don't think people switch from Windows for purely aesthetic reasons.. as it happens I have a dev box at home running Vista RC1 (work dev purposes) and the GUI is amazing, far nicer than my Fedora boxes. I haven't tried xgl under Ubuntu yet though..

I switched to linux because I wanted the choice and freedom to run whatever I wanted without having to pay a premium to do so :)
