[15:03] <Phryq> hey, anyone know how to install themes in Unity?
[15:04] <Phryq> I just downloaded this one, http://exchange.enlightenment.org/theme/show/2607 google is no help and the site doesn't say how to install

[15:04] <Phryq> thankd

[15:05] <holstein> Phryq: unity is not the DE you use if you want to tweak a bunch..
[15:09] <Phryq> ok. What is the benefit of Unity?
[15:09] <Phryq> isn't Gnome then faster, more customizable, and more stable?
[15:14] <holstein> id just try them live and see what "seems" faster
[15:14] <holstein> i wouldnt think about benefits of DE's.. just what your may or may not prefer
[15:15] <Phryq> ok. I like Unity but I just wish I could replace the dock with something less square
[15:15] <Phryq> which doesn't seem to be an option
[15:16] <holstein> i use kupfer.. like gnome-do
[15:17] <holstein> i havent cared about a "dock" or a menu in years
[15:17] <Phryq> I just want to show off linux to my grade 5 class and turn them off of Windows, haha
[15:17] <holstein> Phryq: show them live CD's.. show them everything
[15:17] <Phryq> I liked fluxbox actually
[15:17] <holstein> Phryq: the best think linux/ubuntu has is choice... show them that, and the ones who care will notice
[15:17] <Phryq> ya
[15:17] <holstein> Phryq: fluxbox is still around.. i use openbox
[15:18] <Phryq> ya, I was using it with arch, but had to switch as I'm too noob for arch
[15:18] <Phryq> though I used it for about 6 months
[15:20] <Phryq> actually I find ubuntu with unity to be faster than arch with KDE
[15:21] <holstein> Phryq: unity is still fairly new.. and getting faster all the time
[15:23] <Phryq> can I add transparency without installing a new theme?
[15:24] <holstein> Phryq: to what?
[17:10] <isiah> installing samba on my system, wish me luck
[18:14] <isiah> and samba has been installed, yeah me
[18:18] <duanedesign> awesome
[18:21] <duanedesign> isiah: are you using ubuntu
[18:37] <isiah> duanedesign: 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 fedora
[18:49] <duanedesign> isiah: aha , interesting
[18:50] <duanedesign> isiah: 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 that
[18:51] <duanedesign> at least I know who to ask questions if i get stuck ;
[18:51] <duanedesign> ;)
[18:56] <duanedesign> isiah: did you figure out why /usr/sbin/bonnie++ was giving you command not found?
[19:19] <isiah> duanedesign: I think we were right yesterday that it defaults to a root-only toy
[19:20] <isiah> I did not investigate further, figured I would just alias and change permissions later if any user needs it
[19:29] <duanedesign> ok athanks isiah
[19:30] <duanedesign> feel free to hang out in #ubuntu-beginners-team as well. We would love to have you join the team.
[19:30] <duanedesign> isiah: ^
[19:36] <isiah> oks
[20:18] <duanedesign> 3
[20:45] <isiah> samba file locks are evil
[22:50] <isiah_s> duanedesign: do you still need a hand? Sorry about stepping out had some work to finish
