Here's my KDE desktop using Gutsy, Compiz, and Avant-Window-Manager.

I'm hoping someone can help me; it's probably a stupid mistake, but I get a "Permission denied" error when I try to log in. :( Here's the output:

me1on@me1on:~$ sftp -v -v -oPort=35731...

I got a score of 41. It probably should have been higher, as I'm online often, but I don't see it as a problem. Most of the time I spend online is for learning new things (I visit Wikipedia daily) or...

What are your favorite video games? I'm not talking about only Linux games, or only PC games, but your favorite games on any system. Here are mine:

Super Mario Bros. (NES)
Kid Icarus (NES)...

Here's a pretty cool album I discovered - http://www.lunarmusic.net/

The entire album is free to download. It's sort of a mix between orchestral and electronic.

I don't just randomly inform others that I use Linux, but I'll tell them if it comes up. For example, if somebody sees my computer and notices that the desktop environment looks different, I'll...

I'm proud to say that I've finally reached my old typing speed with the Dvorak layout without switching the Qwerty keys around! My advice to everybody starting out is:

1) Don't bother switching...

My conky has:

Date and Time
CPU, RAM, and SWAP usage
Top Processes
Partition Usage
Network Up/Down Speed
Amarok "Now Playing" Info

and it works perfectly in KDE/Beryl.

Thanks for this how-to, you have no idea how many problems this fixed for me. For those of us who still want beryl-manager to start, do:


kate ~/.kde/Autostart/BerylManagerSafe.desktop

Then...

Have you tried Kopete? It's a great IM client, and better than Pidgin and Trillian by far IMO. Plus it has an excellent interface and comes with a bunch of useful plugins that add additional...

C'mon, guys, we don't want to stoop down to that level. :p

Does anybody else listen to internet radio? If you do, what are your favorite stations?

My favorites are:

Groove Salad, Space Station Soma, and Beat Blender from SomaFM.

My favorite book would have to be Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.

Konqueror is my favorite browser. Unless you use some really obscure firefox extensions, Konqueror can do just about everything firefox can, like tabbed browsing, ad blocking, and mouse gestures. It...

My dvorak typing speed is now 40wpm, and I'm making fewer mistakes. I'd probably be a bit faster if I wasn't still using the dvorak layout on a qwerty keyboard, but I'm getting the hang of it....

Well, I've been using Dvorak for two weeks now, and I'm at 33wpm. It definitely feels more comfortable typing. I'm at half my old qwerty speed, hopefully I get there in a couple weeks. :)

I just took the typing test again, but this time using the Dvorak keyboard layout. I typed at only 16wpm with 16 mistates (compared to 70wpm and 4 mistakes with QWERTY)! Typing is much more...

Here are a couple things that I like about Konqueror:

Mouse gestures similar to the ones in Opera. Just go to System Settings (in KDE obviously)-> Accessibility-> Input Actions-> Click Konqueror...

For everybody who doesn't have an actual Dvorak keyboard (like me :) ), you can print out this keyboard diagram to help you remember where the keys are.

Alright guys, you convinced me to try to switch to the Dvorak keyboard! I haven't really thought about using a different keyboard configuration, but now that I think about it, Dvorak makes a lot more...

Konqueror, obviously. Handling files over FTP on my xbox feels exactly like handling local files, and that's how it should be. :)

In Kubuntu, you can right-click a text file, click actions, then click "edit as root." This only works for text files though; if you want to open anything as root, you could probably create your own...

I use pwgen (it's in the repositories) to generate secure passwords, and KWallet to keep them safe and remember them. I also have my passwords in a gpg-encrypted KSpread document.

Aww, I was hoping he'd win so everyone would quit watching that show. I guess Vote for the Worst's goal is ruined. :(
