QUOTE(G-17 @ Jun 11 2011, 08:22 PM) Yeah, it's mainly made for Media Centers or HTPCs, though you can run it on just about any modern computer without much fuss. Update : Reinstall ubuntu 11.04 and re-run the "refurbishing" script from Elementary OS repo You could also go the Hello Kitty Linux route if your girlfriend is into that sort of stuff, though I don't recommend it (for obvious reasons) >_< Mind telling us what exactly you "custom built", cos I can't see anything that doesn't look like standard Gnome with Elementary themes. Don't get me wrong, it looks great...... but I just can''t tell what's what the difference is. O_o? The script currently removes any "unnecessary" daemons and stuffs which brings more speed Have to try it to know the differences |

QUOTE(G-17 @ Jun 12 2011, 07:37 PM) No. It's all actually pretty simplistic stuff. I just asked Zai for a script's contents. If you stick with Linux and bother to learn along the way, bash-scripting will sort of become your second language. hmm Thanks for sharing. Hmmm ..... I don't have most of what's being removed on my GRML or Arch installs in the first place Don't see a lot of daemon stuff there, though removing mono is always good, I guess. Can't really see any justification in removing both nano and vim (what if something goes wrong and you need to edit config files from a TTY one day?) Anyways, all I can derive from looking at the script is that current-gen stock Ubuntu has a LOT of unnecessary stuff. I guess that's the drawback of trying to market yourself to a wider audience. Now ive completely dumped Unity becoz of some workaround problems with it and I switched to gnome 3 + gnome 2 instead Noticeable , gnome 3 takes much more time to load as compared to eOS and from resource usage , eOS is far more lighter , cant wait for the Luna Stable to be released on November BTW , @G17 , love your Scrotwm set up , what is the base OS |

QUOTE(G-17 @ Jun 12 2011, 11:26 PM) Depends.... I usually use GRML, Arch or Free/Open-BSD these days. Hmm , which means that Scrotwm can be installed in any base os ? or selected ? The ones in the screenshots are usually from my GRML partition. http://grml.org/ I tend to install from the daily unstable small-iso images and build up from there: http://daily.grml.org/ Sort of like a Debian-Arch hybrid. Debian stability and package security but with Arch's modularity and simplicity. Not for everyone, though. It's kind of quirky in some aspects. |

QUOTE(G-17 @ Jun 13 2011, 12:05 AM) Should be. I'm not quite sure how it's done in Ubuntu, but if you rely on GDM, then you should see a "Scrotwm" entry under Sessions. Not 100% sure since I don't use GDM on my rigs. I recommend you read the man page first before logging in to Scrotwm. I also posted some configs earlier in this thread, as well as another thread (Debian Tiling Adventure) that farkinid started. You can use those as a starting point if you like. I have to sleep now, though (must wake up early) ... so I'll only be able to answer any further questions tomorrow. QUOTE(FlameReaper @ Jun 13 2011, 12:19 AM) Gonna try it Thx ya |
