Ubuntu: On Stylish Geekery
O
Ubuntu is not the most difficult to use linux distribution ever released. It is fun to vacation in another OS, however, so when I got my new PC the first thing I did was download the latest version of Ubuntu (at this time 9.04) and install it alongside XP on its very own partition.
After many (many) hours I’ve got things right where i want them.
- My exchange account is setup and working in Evolution (mail client)
- My network shares mount on startup
- Guake runs on login
- Synergy runs on login
- Using Elegant Brit Window Theme
- Using Meliae White Icon Theme
- Avant Window Navigator (Mac OS-esque dock)
- Internet Explorer 6 (IEs4Linux) via Wine so I can access our corporate CRM (which works in IE only)
- And a desktop background that matches so well, it seems they were all made for one another
Probably more rambling about this later, but for now I’m tired and it’s Friday night. I’m ready to relax a bit.
