Yeah, it's mainly made for Media Centers or HTPCs, though you can run it on just about any modern computer without much fuss.
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?

Update : Reinstall ubuntu 11.04 and re-run the "refurbishing" script from Elementary OS repo biggrin.gif

The script currently removes any "unnecessary" daemons and stuffs which brings more speed laugh.gif

Have to try it to know the differences biggrin.gif

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.
Thanks for sharing.

Hmmm ..... I don't have most of what's being removed on my GRML or Arch installs in the first place laugh.gif
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.

hmm hmm.gif they pack it up full with unnecessary things which maybe useful to new users shocking.gif

Now ive completely dumped Unity becoz of some workaround problems with it and I switched to gnome 3 + gnome 2 instead laugh.gif

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 rolleyes.gif

BTW , @G17 , love your Scrotwm set up , what is the base OS icon_question.gif ?

Depends.... I usually use GRML, Arch or Free/Open-BSD these days.
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.

Hmm , which means that Scrotwm can be installed in any base os ? or selected ? icon_question.gif

You can install it in Ubuntu as well, Zai. There should be a package in your repos.
Aptitude/apt-get should pull dependencies automatically.

Which means , it will be installed as another sessions hmm.gif ?

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.

Yep. Depending on the login manager used, you'll see an entry named ScrotWM.

You need a base distro which is in gnome 2

Upgrading it to Gnome 3 with these steps :-

Open terminal and type :

CODE
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3


Then :

CODE
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


After the upgrade and distro upgrade is done , type this :

CODE
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell


Just in case if Gnome-Sessions is not installed , type this :

CODE
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


Then , after everything is done , you need this to configure your Gnome 3 :

CODE
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool


And dont forget to install gnome-theme-standard

Then , to install font , try and use Fontmatrix

Then , download this gNatty Pack and follow the instructions inside :

CODE
http://cid-32ec6e89f4aa803b.office.live.com/self.aspx/Linux/gNatty%20Pack.tar.gz


Then , for the theme , ive used Trebuchet MS font , Zukitwo gnome shell theme and Zukitwo-Dark GTK 3 theme which can be found here :

CODE
http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/zukitwo-beautiful-gnome23shell-theme.html


DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS OR HARDWARE MALFUNCTIONS , PLEASE BACKUP ANY IMPORTANT FILES BEFORE PROCEEDING biggrin.gif

If you're not terminal-ish user , you can try and install gNatty from here :
