I think you can't beat blue on any desktop. That Mint screenshot you posted looks great but all in all I always tweak every distro with some blue theme.

On a side note, Ubuntu should really ditch the brown already. It is original, yes, but it's also ugly and boring as hell.

Oh come on, you know there's nothing more refreshing :cool: In fact I'm considering another one after I buy a ridiculously huge portable hard drive and transfer Everything. I. Have. onto it.

Oh, I haven't even looked around yet :) I just plan to go to the cyber markets and shop around. The bigger the better though :tup:

btw what's the fastest way to find out how much space I have left on my HD? It got harder in KDE :sad:

Doesn't a info pop-up show everytime you point to your HD in Konqueror?

And true, you can never have enough HD, right now I got 320gb + 250gb + one old 120gb which I use for backup storage.

Avoid the Seagate range, for some reason Feisty doesn't seem to work with it. I have the 320Gb variant, and I am not impressed with having to mount from the terminal each time I want to use it...

Though I never tried VMware, I don't feel you can try out a distro's full functionality with a liveCD or VMware. I think you need to make a HD install to use it the way it's meant to be used.

First off, chxta is right :p

The problem with vmware is only video. It doesn't support video accel, so you can't do xgl/beryl/3d games in it. Otherwise it's perfectly capable.

Capable, yes, but it doesn't show a system in optimum performance. I can't make a judgement of an OS without trying it in optimum performance, meaning of an HD. If I did I'd probably never install any distro because using the system in LiveCD mode is a pain in the ass.

Fair enough, but if it's fast in vmware it's gonna be fast in real time too, and vice versa. Might be a small difference, but not much.
