holsteinPhryq: unity is not the DE you use if you want to tweak a bunch..15:05
Phryqok. What is the benefit of Unity?15:09
Phryqisn't Gnome then faster, more customizable, and more stable?15:09
holsteinid just try them live and see what "seems" faster15:14
holsteini wouldnt think about benefits of DE's.. just what your may or may not prefer15:14
Phryqok. I like Unity but I just wish I could replace the dock with something less square15:15
Phryqwhich doesn't seem to be an option15:15
holsteini use kupfer.. like gnome-do15:16
holsteini havent cared about a "dock" or a menu in years15:17
PhryqI just want to show off linux to my grade 5 class and turn them off of Windows, haha15:17
holsteinPhryq: show them live CD's.. show them everything15:17
PhryqI liked fluxbox actually15:17
holsteinPhryq: the best think linux/ubuntu has is choice... show them that, and the ones who care will notice15:17
Phryqya15:17
holsteinPhryq: fluxbox is still around.. i use openbox15:17
Phryqya, I was using it with arch, but had to switch as I'm too noob for arch15:18
Phryqthough I used it for about 6 months15:18
Phryqactually I find ubuntu with unity to be faster than arch with KDE15:20
holsteinPhryq: unity is still fairly new.. and getting faster all the time15:21
Phryqcan I add transparency without installing a new theme?15:23
holsteinPhryq: to what?15:24

duanedesignawesome18:18
duanedesignisiah: are you using ubuntu18:21
isiahduanedesign: I have multiple vms running 2 of them are ubuntu the other 3 are centos varieties, the underlying system is centos 6 dual booted with fedora18:37
duanedesignisiah: aha , interesting18:49
duanedesignisiah: my setup is probably a little simpler. However I need to get samba set up to access Ubuntu from Windows. AS you probably know accessing Windows from Ubuntu is configured by default, so I have just been living with that18:50
duanedesignat least I know who to ask questions if i get stuck ;18:51
duanedesign;)18:51
duanedesignisiah: did you figure out why /usr/sbin/bonnie++ was giving you command not found?18:56
isiahduanedesign: I think we were right yesterday that it defaults to a root-only toy19:19
isiahI did not investigate further, figured I would just alias and change permissions later if any user needs it19:20
duanedesignok athanks isiah19:29
duanedesignfeel free to hang out in #ubuntu-beginners-team as well. We would love to have you join the team.19:30
