Useless post, but must bump the styles, and of course… the 8.10 release.
So I’ve been using Ubuntu for a while, I threw it on some computers and a notebook somewhere in 2006, but really took advantage in 2007. I never quite did the styles thing until I finally installed the system on the horse I use for development, at home… which I never use…. since I’m hardly home these days. Cool story Hansel.
DM did a nice little write up on it a while back as well, and keyed on the stock visual effects, which are very nice. Here’s my current style mix.
- Murrina-LemonGraphite
- Metativo
- Default fonts set to Nagham, 120dpi, 9pt
That’s basically it. Oh, and some good old Compiz (though I keep the Visual Affects on ‘Normal’ most of the time).
I take it that most of the otakusphere is hell-bent on M$, with a few OSX Taigas, and probably more *nix users. For M$ users, it’s definitely worth a shot, it’s fast, pretty, candy-ful, mplayer is the jam-u, and actually quite easy to work with once everything is installed.
… though, I may not be the best advocate, since I’ve not used XP in about 2 years, and have used linux on-and-off since Slackware 3 and RedHat 5.
