Linux for your taste (sorry Naw :D) (11 Viewers)

The things I listed are closely related to internet browsing and are essential for internet experience, but when someone installs weatherchecker, dictionary, "make me a orange juice" extensions that's just pushing it. So it's configurable, big deal, it's still a memory hog, likes to crash and is damn slow compaired to my dear Opera.

Aye, you've painted yourself into a corner now. First trying to sell Opera on simplicity and then saying it has everything and the kitchen sink. How is a dictionary lookup not more closely to related to browsing, possibly pages containing words you want to look up, than a torrent client?

I had no more ideas on the abundance of firefox extensions so I used your dictionary as an example.

You screwed up, I know, it's okay

Does anyone know a way to change default window options for KDE? One thing that bugs me about KDE is that even if I have something like Firefox maximised, I can still grab the window borders, meaning that I sometimes resize the window instead of scrolling up and down. I've set up a shortcut for removing the window border, but I'd like to be able to configure it so that some windows (Firefox, Mplayer) have the borders off by default.

Also, is there a way to remove the "middle click pastes clipboard to address bar" functionality? I never use it, and I always mis-click when I'm trying to open links in new tabs.

Nope. I tried asking that in lots of forums and always got a negative response, it sure is a pain in the but though.

Yeah, have a look at kcontrol > Desktop > Window-Specific Settings

Dunno, I've always found it a pain myself.

I just installed Vista.

 

[gray]

Ahh, so the ISO worked out for ya?

I'll say it again... I can't understand what the hell you'd want to install Vista for

Keep your pants up, I still have my Kubuntu.

As for Vista it's shite, I'ma be removing it soon hopefully. Like I said my brother only uses Windows and is really not interested in using anything else.
Really, it's XP with a facelift + some really annoying features, like that pop-up window that appears everytime you want to install something. Also file copying is DEAD SLOW, I'm googling on how to resolve that ATM.

Even more so it's not even so pretty as everyone says, my Kubuntu wipes the floor with it.

 

[Martin]

and? are you lovin it?

 

[V]

Of course. Especially staying awake till 3A.M. last night trying to forward uTorrent's ports in Windows' built-in "You're actually better off with no firewall at all" Firewall.

 

[Martin]

forget utorrent, rtorrent is salvation

you should probably get rid of the built in firewall and just use a functional one

You ditched that memory hog of yours, Azureus?

I never use windows firewall but Look N Stop, really great and extremelly light on the resources, not supported for Vista though.

I'm looking forward to trying out the new PCLinuxOS, as soon as it goes final. Eye candy. :lick:

 

[Chxta]

If you're looking for eye candy, just install beryl and get it over with...

 

[V]

I have but it slows down the system too much, is too unstable, too many updates every day so something always crashes...Not worth it, though new PCLinux will come with pre-installed Compiz candy.
