Just got my wireless working and Ubuntu installed, how long before I can order the stickers?
Sound card working?
Oh haven't checked yet. I'm off to bed now so il check tomorrow!
sudo apt-get tobed
Would it not be
cd home/deanmc/bedroom
make && make install bed?
Or something like that
Good, now do this:

Actually next thing I want to do is to make my terminal all funky! Then hack a Gibson ...
I feel extremely left out of this :(
Stupid Eee PC overheating everytime Linux runs on it (that's right, it doesn't even need to be installed, run it live and it will overheat to the point of resetting the BIOS :( )
Ok so far there is the usual *** weirdness but I have to say I really like the terminal! more to report laters!
Aah, here's what mine looks like now. Go to profile preferences and you'll find a tab with transparency in it. You can also remove the menu bar and scrollbar if you want to keep it minimal.Quote:

Sort of, a few:
LightZone
Bibble 5 - install via Synaptic Package Manager
digiKam - install via Synaptic Package Manager
Try them one at a time or you'll just confuse and frustrate yourself. Each one manages your workflow in a different way. If you like any, luck you!
(PS: LightZone is trialware)
Traitors.
How's battery life on Ubuntu?
I have Fedora installed atm, but it drains like madness.
I don't know, I've installed it on the pc upstairs. The installation on the laptop doesn't connect to the tinterwebs yet so I haven't played with it much!
If you have Compiz installed, you can add a Gaussian blur. I find the transparency on its own can be distracting, but with the blur it's reasonably nice.Quote:

Beats the standard terminal included with Ubuntu.
So this is a silly question. Where does stuff get installed. Better yet any have an idea of file structure name so I can read up on it?
If you concerned about battery usage then you should install "powertop" which is a commandline tool which tells you which bits of software is eating your electrons more than others. It's quite cool.

It's probably easier to just randomly search through the filesystem and google anything that you don't know. Many files in /etc have their own manpages to explain what they do.
If you're learning terminal stuff, get to know a console text-editor (vim/emacs/nano) well (vimtutor), and also the standard cmdline/bash utilities.
Cheers man!
