Hello - inittux - 2012-01-26 And if you don't want to break your running system when trying/testing things out. You can install virtual machines. A well know virtual software packages is virtualbox You can install the deb packages with the right architecture(x86 or amd64) and install via Code: sudo dpkg -i virtualbox.deb or you in ubuntu you can also install straight from the command line cuz I think it's in the repositories via Code: sudo apt-get install virtuabox Hello - inittux - 2012-01-26 What do you mean as in theme editor? As in you want to change your desktop themes? You can change themes via I think preferences-->appearance-->themes There you can customize the standard themes and you can also install downloaded themes for your desktop(kde,xfce,lxde,gnome) http://gnome-look.org/ http://kde-look.org/ http://xfce-look.org/ http://lxde.org/lxde And you also have compiz, where you can customize your desktop with all sorts of funky effects and visuals Example Hello - joe0121 - 2012-02-21 Hey sorry for my long absence. I actually just finished a linux/unix seminar for work. Learned a lot but mostly how to navigate directories and get info about a system etc. I also through work got a few old IBM think centre and with some selective interchange ended up with a box having 1 gig of ram a 3ghz p3 and 40 gig hdd. I am running mint linux on mainly I have my usb external drives and sharing them out on the network with Samba. Here is a screenshot of the desktop. still working on it. My hd moniter has multiple inputs and allows you to togle and I think the resolution is about all the cheapo video card can handle. I also have both machines on the same desk and have to take car to use the correct keyboard and mouse as they are really close to each other. ![]() Gonna upgrade the ram payday to get a little more performance as I am used to my PC running 8 gigs of ram and a quad core amd chip. Eventually my other think center will end up as the DHCP server and fire wall for the entire home network. And this box will get a capture card to pull video off my cable and it will be my DVR of sorts I wil watch the videos through my ps3. Hello - inittux - 2012-02-21 Welcome back! Looks nice.
