I'm not virgin anymore! (pics inside)

I'm very happy with it . I'm learning many things, and have some interesting plans for the future.

Btw, why do I never hear people talking about Konqueror? It's a very damn good browser.

[BlackAura]

Don't recognise the distro. Presumably, it's a Brazilian one I've never heard of?

Btw, why do I never hear people talking about Konqueror? It's a very damn good browser.

It is. It's also a very powerful and flexible file manager, which can do all kinds of cool stuff.

For example (assuming your KDE is set up right), put an audio CD in your drive, and type this into the address bar of Konqueror:

Code: Select all

audiocd:/

I don't use Konqueror as a web browser at the moment, partly because I prefer Firefox's interface and extensions to Konqueror, and partly because I'm using KDE 3.1, and Konqueror isn't anywhere near as good as it is in later versions. It's certainly not the same kind of crippleware that comes with Windows.

Yes. Kurumin 3.3, based on Knoppix, with KDE 3.3, kernel 2.4.25, support for Debian packages and apt-get.

What is that sexy bar on the bottom of the screen that's a clone of the osx one?

[BlackAura]

It's probably a Karamba / SuperKaramba theme. Originally, Karamba was intended to display data on the desktop (such as the info bar on the right-hand side of the desktop). It gets used for all kinds of other things too, like the OS X-style dock, email notifiers, news and weather...

I don't know which one it is though. There are at least three, probably more.

[butters]

I agree I really like that kde bar. I'd love to see something like that with Gnome using xorg 6.8's transparency effects instead of widgets.

[mankrip]

Yes, it's Karamba, and I don't know how to configure it to show only the side bar, not the bottom bar, which is useless...

[butters]

You're stuck with that bottom bar. I've never figured out how to get rid of it, or make another. You should be able to get rid of the translucent bar fairly easily though, it looks redundant.

[mankrip]

I'm talking about the bottom bar of Karamba, not about the KDE bar. You can hide the KDE bar by clicking in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

I could simply open the .theme file for the bottom bar of Karamba and comment everything out, but I think that there must be a "right" way to hide it.

Beats the crap out of the default Fedora installation heh

Plot twist: I was still a virgin when I created this thread.

I remember everyone loving Linux back in the day. All I ever heard was distro talk and it seemed everyone with an interest in computers was on Linux by default. Now I never hear about it. What happened?

[mankrip]

Now I never hear about it. What happened?

I have no idea. I've spent most of the last decade putting my life in order, and didn't have time to take care of computer stuff. Most of my stuff is outdated.

However, my guess is that most people in the Internet doesn't have an "interest in computers" anymore.

I dunno if this has anything to do with it, but Mac OS X switched to Intel platform and a lot of people who were interested in *nix flocked to it. At least for me personally, that's what happened, and I know OS X is a popular platform for programmers.

These days I do everything on Macs (although I have a Windows VM for anything Windows-specific), and I use FreeBSD for my firewall/server.
