  3. Re: How to get Debian 7 GNOME Classic or Arch Linux

    I think gnome-flashback provides a non-composited gnome3 desktop.

    https://wiki.gnome.org/GnomeFlashback

    There's a package for it in the arch repos. I don't think it has anything to do with the...

    Re: OpenSUSE 12.3 mount point?

    Yes, it looks fine. Although it's possible to merge sda1 and sda3 with sda3 (root) after the install -- it's much easier to delete all three and create a single new partition in the empty space as...

    Re: OpenSUSE 12.3 mount point?

    Yeah, you need to decide on what partition you want for OpenSuse root -- maybe /dev/sda2 in your case if you're replacing XP. During the graphical install process you get to propose mount points for...
  7. Re: Looking for Gnome Shell 3.8 desktop with ease-of-use and polish as Ubuntu

    Every odd numbered gnome release (ie. 3.5, 3.7, 3.9) is a development version so won't get released by gnome as stable version -- and so won't turn up in distro releases. As Fedora 19 is already in...
  8. Re: Looking for Gnome Shell 3.8 desktop with ease-of-use and polish as Ubuntu

    Debian testing is quite stable, but using experimental packages is a rough ride for the user - no polish at all and expect a few problems, especially with installing/upgrading. Fedora 19 beta is v...
  9. Re: Looking for Gnome Shell 3.8 desktop with ease-of-use and polish as Ubuntu

    Probably the beta release of Fedora 19, that comes with 3.8.2. Not so much distro polish as Ubuntu, as it is more of a vanilla Gnome experience. You can add the rpm -fusion repo for multimedia...

    Re: Debian wheezy is awesome :)

    I use the Liquorix Kernel repo which has patches for desktop and gaming performance over the stock kernel. It's also a more recent version. A few performance tests against a stock Ubuntu kernel can...

    Re: Size of your windows C drive

    I've got a 250GB drive. Win7 gets 25GB, Linux gets 10GB (i don't have a swap partition), and i've got a 210GB partition for my data (i don't put any of my own stuff in /home).

    Re: HOWTO: Clear filesystem memory cache

    I use this command but i get the same error when trying it with sudo. I have to log in as root (which is disabled by default in ubuntu) and then it works fine. This happens to me as a 'sudo' user in...

    Re: Did It Lose Its Popularity?

    I think the Arch user base is still growing fast. It's hard to tell, but looking at the number of people logged on to the arch forums (currently 227 as i'm typing this) it is more than i remember it...
  14. Re: Lightwight and easy to use distro for relative

    SolusOS is an easy to use debian based distro. It uses a gnome desktop but is likely to be quite lightweight for an older computer.

    Re: Favorite kind of tea

    Any black tea but half a litre of it, and strong and with lots of milk. Also a little sugar.
  17. Re: Ubuntu sort arrows - when will they fix this??

    Yes, i agree -- or at least i would do if i were a computer. I don't see any clear answer from a users point of view. Human favourites are often associated the other way round (which is why this...
  18. Re: Ubuntu sort arrows - when will they fix this??

    I see your point, but there's loads of fuzzy examples with this. If you posted your five favourite films and labelled them with numbers, i would presume that 1 was top -- but i'd be wrong.

  22. Re: Why arem't Ubuntu's font-rendering patches standard upstream?

    I've tried that and it is definitely different. Personally, i prefer the look with the Ubuntu fontconfig, freetype2, libxft, and libcairo packages. If those Ubuntu packages weren't considered as an...
  23. Re: Why arem't Ubuntu's font-rendering patches standard upstream?

    I don't know why they aren't upstream. Even fedora don't use infinality by default -- which i think it was originally made for. Maybe distros believe what they have is good enough.
