I'm very pleased with the performance of my new Asus Zenbook running Ubuntu. The installation went smooth and since I just bought this Laptop from Sams Club I wanted to test Ubuntu 12.04 LTS right away so I went ahead and install Ubuntu + all my other applications I use.
These are the steps I took to accomplish all this;
1. Unpacked Asus Zenbook and made a backup of Wind0ze 7 Home OS
2. Installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from a USB created on my old Laptop running Ubuntu 11.10
3. Once installation was completed I restarted the computer and proceeded to install all my applications
4. Before installing all my apps I enabled the appropriate repositories then sudo apt-get update & upgrade
5. Once the update & upgrade was complete I then installed my following apps;
6. sudo apt-get install preload openssh-server nmap nbtscan arp-scan konqueror krusader shutter qalculate compiz compiz-plugins compiz-gnome compiz-core compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra fusion-icon compizconfig-settings-manager gparted inkscape gtk-recordMyDesktop k3b kdenlive mplayer vlc heirloom-mailx sendmail samba smbfs x11vnc xtightvncviewer gnome-do docky wireshark rdesktop cups-pdf gnome-shell gnome-tweak-tool
7. The INSTALL UBUNTU TWEAK
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
8. INSTALL WINE
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
udo apt-get update
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine1.5
9. Virtualbox Downloaded and isntalled from website;
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtu...cise_amd64.deb
10. NX Free Edition for Linux
Download the DEBs
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.5.0/...5.0-7_i386.deb
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.5.0/...5.0-7_i386.deb
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.5.0/...5.0-9_i386.deb
11. Change your working directory to the location where you saved the package and install it by running from a console:
sudo dpkg -i nxclient_3.5.0-7_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i nxnode_3.5.0-7_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i nxserver_3.5.0-9_i386.deb
12. For security purposes I change the default SSH Port 22 in;
sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
I reduced the “LoginGraceTime” to 20 from 120
I added my self and nx to be able to ssh into my Laptop “AllowUsers Myself nx”
13. I restared SSH
sudo service ssh restart
14. I also changed the SSH Port for NX No Machine in;
/usr/NX/etc/node.cfg
/usr/NX/etc/server.cfg
15. Restart NX
sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --restart
16. I Enable Gnome-Shell Themes in by following this turorial;
http://www.noobslab.com/2012/03/howt...themes-in.html
17. I like to use McBuntu Icons along with Plastiq Gnme-shell theme;
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/pr...u-10.10.tar.gz -O /tmp/Macbuntu-10.10.tar.gz
tar xzvf /tmp/Macbuntu-10.10.tar.gz -C /tmp
cd /tmp/Macbuntu-10.10/
./install.sh force
18. here is a picture of the theme results;
I have 90 days in case I want to return the laptop, but I think I'm keeping it!!
Cheers!!
