I was using or trying to use Mandrake on my computer for like a week, but I gave up and went back to windows. I need to go take a class on how to use a Linux OS or something because its just so different from windows since I'm so use to it.

Its the same for any long-time windows user making the switch. But believe me when I say change is good. I recommend you download and burn a Knoppix LiveCD. Just stick the CD in your computer when you turn it on and you can boot into Linux without ever installing it on your system. Knoppix has great auto-hardware detection and is good to have around if Windows suddenly won't boot one day (seems to happen a lot. :roll: ). |

I dont really find that resolution too high, i wanted to make it 3200 x 1200 but its at 2560 x 1024 right now which is readable. I dont have any good wallpapers for the higher one so I left it at this. My gentoo has a resolution of like 2048x1538, thats pwn resolution I wish they had fluxbox for windows ^^ |

Eg: http://www.xpde.com/shots.php That there looks pretty much like Windows XP.. but, it's Linux.. And of course.. if you look around for FVWM2 screenshots, you'll see that you can much get a WIndows XP, 95, etc look as well. The Linux DE is whatever you want it to be. Use one of the many already out there, or make your own from scratch. Quote:
And as xargon already mentioned, there _is_ a blackbox shell replacement for Windows. That's probably what was in the screenshot. Give it a google, and you'll find it. Quote:
But anyways.. if I ever get around to changing any window decorations... I may post again... I dunno. Or, maybe it's been so long since anyone's seen my desktop, so I'll post my current one anyways. ? hmm |

Hrmm... i got a new desktop for my laptop... lineage 2 theme... but my laptop is off right now... and i'm too lazy to turn it back on now. Well, you'll have a new screenshot from me tomorrow.
And thank you to rcxAsh and xargon for helping with my error of identifying. I indeed knew that blackbox had been ported to windows... but i like the look of XP. I don't think i'll be changing it. |

Yup, I've been using Gentoo for over a year now. Just like a good novel (or anime for that matter), I can't put it down. |
