How do you get that sidebar thingo?

[dhruvrsingh]

@Mandragara install screenlets, and then this one's called system monitor

as usual, this is my settings you can do whatever you want to with it. there are many other small widget like apps you can use

hey how do you make the windows stick far out of the cube when rotating and how do u get the cube so far away?

[dhruvrsingh]

@w1n5t0n4 First if you dont have any windows open the cube wont shrink while rotating... second the option is 3 D windows in compiz config settings manager. you can specify minimum cube size and depth to use for windows while rotation..

[w1n5t0n4]

@dhruvrsingh sorry, but how do u get to 3d windows, i cant find it in compiz config, i did get the cube to be far away when i spin it, w/ or w/o windows open

[marciobremer]

@dhruvrsingh i'll take a look but mine dont have that options too, mine dont stick fer out , but i will take a look thanks

[dhruvrsingh]

@marciobremer there is a seperate icon in compiz config settings manager which says 3D Windows, click on it and select the options there

[RealNeurotiq]

my position on linux is this.

if ALL you do is normal stuff

download stuff, watch movies, schoolwork, internet

. I prefer linux for browsing because Im not afraid of viruses, you'd have to run them under wine or something to make them work lol

i use windows only for select hardware, but im not a "common" user

[mu0u506a]

what is going on here with the Windows screen?

[dhruvrsingh]

@mu0u506a remote desktop to a windows pc

[zaharudden]

why external hdd / sata samsung / I do not see you at 10:04 .. I use ubuntu amd64 ... but I like ubuntu 10:04

[dhruvrsingh]

Yeah sort of a similar story for me. 10.04 is amazing in the sense that it does SO MUCH more on its own in comparison to 8.04 hardy I tried the last time.

My wireless would require ndswrapper to make it work et al, drivers for nvidia were a pain, and so many more niggles in hardy - that are TOTALLY ironed out in here. 10.04 rocks!

Its a massive improvement, and I hope people realize and try it out.

I started playing with Ubuntu a few months ago. I dual booted for a time. Each time I had to boot into Windows I found myself getting pissed off and angry and I gave windows the finger fully and erased Windows from all 4 of my computers. I am still learning and it took some work to get things all set up and going but hey MY COMPUTER WORKS! ALL the time! I have had Windows pc since 1991 and am now DONE with Microsoft!
