is that xfce? How come it looks like Fluxbox

i wonder how is GNU/linux going to get virus, if its open source?, i think its rather unlikely, and stop saying "its because is not as popular windows"

Hmm, I'm not sure if you meant that the likelihood of getting a virus was higher or lower on Linux-- but I can attest to the fact that it's highly unlikely that you'll get one as long as you know what you're doing. The program "top" will show exactly which applications are running, there is no such thing as a hidden app, passing through some dll somewhere... so it's just overall more difficult to get away with a virus on Linux is all. Though, yes, there are plenty of them.

I like everything about your video, but .. why xfce?

Fast, stable, simple to configure, and powerful... and because I'm too shallow to move on! lol-- Truly XFCE out-of-the-box has been the most efficient window manager I've used to date, it cross platform compatible (runs on my PS3 really well) and I just really like how the developers have not tried to please me with visual effects, if I want Vista, I'll install Vista. You know? :P

definitely, each OS has its uses.

seriously are any distros different if you put copmpiz on?
calebgray (Friday 5th of September 2008 08:07:45 AM)
lol-- check the date I uploaded this video. This was LONG before compiz; this was hand compiled, hand configured, and hand coordinated. That's why it's faster, and shows off all of the features at the time. And that's the difference between distros, while some give you binaries that you can't change, others give you full control over the end result.

It sounds as though GRUB was replaced with the Windows boot loader. My recommendation is to boot the Ubuntu CD again and run: grub-install /dev/hd-- (replace -- with the disk and partition).

Amen brother, my beliefs exactly.
