thats because currently debian testing is in freeze state, preparing to become next stable release.. if u use unstable repo like me, still got updates everyday.. but if u choose to stick with testing repo, the day of next debian stable is release u will get a bucketload updates from upstream debian testing

no, i dont advise anyone to do that.. i'm just explaining about why lmde with default repo rarely got updates nowadays. and yes its more safe to use its default testing repo compared to me that use unstable repo, always got risk to break my system

its a hybrid then

yup.. its tweaked by linuxmint dev, just like ubuntu got tweaked to become mint gnome/kde/xfce/fluxbox .. got tools like mintmenu, mintupdate, mintupload etc.. and all ur multimedia needs is installed by default like win32codecs, mplayer, vlc, flash etc...

how is unity anyway? practical enough or just bling2 eyecandy?

anyhow its still in development state.. not even matured yet. maybe in time it'll be useable and practical enough for everyday use

in gnome if u want to delayed conky startup, paste this into gedit


adjust "sleep 30" depends on how many seconds u want it to be delayed. save it to any filename with .sh extension and make it executable (and maybe u wannna name it with dot at beginning so it will hide in nautilus eg .conky-startup.sh)
then copy that startup script into ur home folder and add it into ur startup service, also make sure u had delete original conky startup command from startup service. reboot and see how it goes

try this

now using a live wallpaper software called xPlanetFX.. it render earth including clounds and sunlight exposure in 3d, make it a desktop wallpaper and change it in our predefined time

just updated xplanetfx and got another theme

my new install. found this great minimal distro, based on debian with xfce desktop. livecd iso size just 300mb with hdd installation just 1.5gb. suites me really well

forgot to mention
its pureos light version
http://pureos.org/index.php?lang=english

my diy lmde xfce.. stripped it down by removing all gnome related and installed xfce. even replaced gdm with slim
now its really fast without gnome bloated stuff

my freshly install opensuse 12.1
i start from gnome livecd but didnt like gnome 3 abit. now its fully kde after completely remove all trace of gnome
btw opensuse 12.1 is the one and only distro that can detect my ati 6470m gc and use opensource gallium driver+hardware rendering out of the box with lmde, ubuntu, aptosid, fedora i struggle alot with that particular gc even with ati proprietary driver. cannot enable hardware rendering, heat problem etc etc.... ati gc is truly a biiiiiiitch to deal with on linux
