Automated installation, post-installation shell script to add extra packages and configure everything. Store all necessary config files in a Git repo and you can pretty much just set it going and walk away to drink lots of tea. Now that is lazy.
Finally set up Linux on my laptop the way I like it - I've got openbox installed but am still figuring it out, but for now I spent time just working on getting gnome set up nicely. It's nothing special, Mint 11, Carbon + Faenaz, Docky. I'd like to go with a more lightweight WM as I know that it will improve the battery life on my laptop to ~4.5hrs... Soon.
Looking good though, I'm not the biggest fan of gnome (im an openbox fanboy) but that's looking quite light and lean, I'd personally lose the desktop icons though
I cracked and had to have a look at gnome 3.2 to see if it was as terrible as everyone makes out. You know what? It's not anywhere near as bad as I was expecting, think I'll stick to OpenBox though, old habits die hard.
Also, the opensource ati driver handles 2d and simple 3d pretty well, think I'll be sticking to it since I don't game on this OS anyway.
Oh, and screenshot of Gnome3.2 (with very minor tweaks to the panel and GTK3 theme).
