You could install fluxbox if you're feeling really light, WindowMaker if you like that sort of thing, or Enlightenment 16. [12:31] there are others, I assume? Any recommendations? [12:32] need light [12:32] lightest I'd ever use is Blackbox. There's also IceWM and JWM. [12:32] well, Hackerbox is so light that it's nothing but window borders. [12:33] is it like switching between themes - I dont want get rid od xfce until i find a better one [12:33] I have E16 on here just for fun. [12:33] yeah, you can have all the window managers and the desktop enviroments in the world installed at one time.

[05:03] I'm interested in helping to test XUbuntu, but I'm not sure what Herd XUbuntu is currently testing against. It is Herd 3 or Herd 4? [05:03] screen resolution is one [05:03] !herd [05:03] i think 3 [05:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about herd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi [05:03] LinuxLefty: i saw a 4 on the xubuntu site.. [05:03] !schedule [05:03] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [05:04] on one of them should be the times the herds are released [05:04] or... you could search the mirrors for the daily build [05:05] ok, I get it. I guess that Herd 4 under testing but hasn't been released yet [05:05] So, I just follow the test plan at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Xubuntu/Herd4 right? [05:11] sure [05:12] ok, thanks :) . Sorry if I'm asking so many questions. I've never done any beta testing /w Ubuntu before.

[05:26] i'm on an old imac and there's no way to adjust it with the hardware [05:28] you mean the height / width of the screen? [05:28] i need to shift the screen about 1/8" to the left, i can't see the scroll bar on any maximized browser or anything [05:28] not geometry, position [05:29] not resolution, that is [05:29] !xorg [05:29] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

I got a new computer (free!) with everything minus a HD, going to throw xubuntu on it ASAP andlet you all know how it goes. what should i use (programs/apps) to make it run? also I plan on using this as a model/test/use ubuntu! machine at my school so any cool graphics, apps, stuff that would appeal to poor people would be great. i go to a pretty poor junior college. [05:49] You may want to look at edubuntu, at least to start with. It's intended for use in schools. [05:50] For modelling, Wings3D and Blender are worth a look. [05:50] posingaspopular: depending on the graphics card you might want to look at beryl [05:50] PuMpErNiCkLe: i run edubuntu on my home computer :) [05:50] ah, cool === Jester45 likes blender [05:51] it's an emachines somethings or another [05:52] already took the 'intened for microsoft tag' off. [05:52] digital media center garbage [05:52] if you want good looks i would go with KDE or xfce [05:52] Or Gnome. [05:52] but thats my option [05:53] +modelling; 2d animation software like Ktoon and Synfig might be useful, too. [05:53]
