Willem, hope you don't mind, I editted the poll to let more users vote on it, is that okay, should I change it back? (Just to get more people involved etc)

Wow, where did you get that wallpaper? Its amazing.

> lol, is it just me, or is even Xubuntu unstable? Has anyone ever tried Gobuntu?

Hm... Don't quite understand, when you go to the "Upgradeable Packages" can't you select which updates are installed? 

You are very modest, its nice to meet Linuzoid's protoge, we look forward to enjoying your work. Welcome to Pardus Worldforum.

@ Lisa, exactly! GNOME flickers, and it doesn't do fullscreen games well (whenever I tried) etc, I really don't like it under Ubuntu based distros e.g. Mint.

@ AlanGB, wait... you didn't like the picture of the odd hyaena staring at you? How strange...

I esp. like this one, really tasteful, must've taken you a while as well: http://cooldesktoplook.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5286

This one too, "elegance without excess" (to quote G. Armani): http://cooldesktoplook.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5365

Lol, I use 4 GiB of RAM... I feel so spoilt

Thanks for the reply Bahri - Its about 2:08 AM here, I'll try it tommorow lol

Welcome Alan - Nice to see a fellow Brit in the forums

@ Willem, I totally agree, I think its the most similar to Windows, in terms of installation and interface, I think Windows users would be right at home with it.

Thats it, you check the boxes and you see the effects instantly - Unless you don't have your graphics card driver installed...

Hey! Lol, I love GNOME Just a tad unstable... but KDE 4 blows it out of the water I admit - the whole "Desktop" and "Home" folder on the desktop in a tasteful black transparent "box" is an incredible idea.

If you don't want the updates, disable Package Manager from the notification area, you will then receive no more notification - but you have to open Package Manage and look for upgradable packages manually if you want updates... still - works for me

Wow, I thought it was really new - I never really heard about it until I read an article about it in LinuxToday, its possible they just don't think its popular enough.

I've been thinking more about it, without sites like TPBay and Mininova, we wouldn't know if a torrent is any good (ratings, comments etc)...
