Dapper Dan 0 Posted March 5, 2004 jimf43 and I thought it might be fun to have a thread here at Linuxcompatible.org where everyone could post a link to their latest screenshot! By the way Jim sent his latest, showing IceWM under Mepis to the Mepis site, and they've posted it! If you would like to post your latest, please do so here! To start things off, here's one I put together last night showing IceWM under Fedora Core 1... http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/352713/mars2.jpg Share this post Link to post

Very nice Admiral! I see you use Opera. Is it in the Gentoo portage tree, or did you install it from their tarball? Share this post Link to post
Admiral LSD 0 Posted March 5, 2004 It's in the Portage tree, you just emerge opera and you're away. There are a number of ebuilds covering proprietary and closed source stuff like that, stuff like WineX, VMWare even the proprietary drivers for nVidia and ATi graphics card. I think it's really cool that Gentoo provide this stuff instead of getting bogged down in licencing politics like other distros as it puts the choice in the users hands instead of just demanding they do things a certain way.

SoulNothing 0 Posted May 5, 2004 i was wondering bout that two is it distro specific or what wait a second isnt that gates idea the new xp sidebar whats it doing in linux? or did he just copy it from linux Share this post Link to post
jimf43 0 Posted May 5, 2004 I haven't fooled with it much, but the latest Gnome (and I think KDE) allows you to set up toolbars in odd configurations. The more I see of the new Gnome desktop, the more I'm impressed by it. Gnome seems to be trying for some true inovations. On the other hand, KDE seems to be more interested in duplicating the Window$ look & functions. I think it will be the way databases are handled and integrated that will finaly decide the winner.

SoulNothing 0 Posted May 5, 2004 yup i only use gnome mainly because its the only one that has sound working but its so inivative kde does seem like its trying to copy windows but gnome is something new entirely Share this post Link to post
shadowmatrix 0 Posted May 6, 2004 I know that back when I was using windows xp I had the smartbar xp installed. But now I know better and am using Linux Anyway, I would like to be able to have my system and fan temps as well as other stats located in a bar on the desktop like that. Very cool!!!

SoulNothing 0 Posted May 6, 2004 shadowmatrix your using mandrake 10 ce right because im missing like three things that isnt allowing it to work it does look very impressive. what exactly does it do besides system monotoring Share this post Link to post
jimf43 0 Posted May 6, 2004 Originally posted by soulnothing: Quote: what exactly does it do besides system monotoring Well nothing really, but it sure does look hot ! Thanks for the tip guys. I'll have to post a screenshot later. Also, found a new one 'lshw.' gives you a printout of the whole system parameters. Not flashy, but, very useful. Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted July 13, 2004 99 percent of the time I use IceWM, but occasionally I'll play around with Gnome... Share this post Link to post
