Here we go again…

For someone who in the past has wasted a lot of time hopping between different GNU/Linux distributions in the past I now have to think of a number of reasons before changing again, just so that I know I’m not just slipping into old habits.
Buying a brand new laptop can be a fairly problematic process [...]

KDE 4.1 – continued…

Well… it’s gone… And I didn’t even use it for a day. I liked the desktop effects; and, as I mentioned in my comment, they worked better on my system than compiz; and I liked the comic strip widget.

Screenshot

I will be posting these snapshots at random times because I find it interesting how people choose to configure their desktop environment and it’s nice to share… Today’s screenshot is from last year when I was using Zenwalk. I had [...]
