2007-09-09 My Linux

1. Never say “My Linux”. So I’ve heard.

Anyway during last three months I have done some crazy things with my laptop. I’ve gone near the nervous breakdown and so has Jo , who for a reason or another doesn’t like when he has to create his email account in Opera again and again. My latest invention was to install openSUSE (with KDE). Well it looked really cool and everything but whether it was because I didn’t have energy build up everything from the zero again or I simply loved Ubuntu and Gnome, I didn’t use SUSE much. And because of all this I ended up installing whole Ubuntu again. So now I have just one OS. Things are much better this way. (Although I waiting with horror when Jo goes back to Germany and we have start using Skype again… You can have Ekiga also in Windows but apparently it’s still beta version.)

But as said I have been pimpin’ my (1200×800, 1.3MB) Feisty (nothing big I just made it look nice). While making desktop look nice, I also made login and splash screens prettier. I found Linux Mint. You see I love green and though I normally don’t get kicks from mint colour but on screen it looks so sexy. I want everything to be mint green… So you see Jo is now horrified what is going to happen next and is he forced to create the email account in Opera once again. I guess he saw “the new distro -glow” in my eyes. Okey I promised him that I won’t do anything crazy. I really should get another computer for testing things.

But back to pimpin and how.

• controls: Cassandra Mint Green
• window border: MurrineRounded
• icons: Kreski Lines
• desktop wallpaper: from Desktopography
• GDM-theme: Sunny Mint – Linux Mint GDM
• splash-screen: From freedom … [ Linux Mint ]

That sort of stuff today.
