Was it easy to set up? I've been considering installing Ubuntu alongside Vista when I get my new laptop. What app did you use exactly for the right side? | ||

http://conky.sourceforge.net/ http://www.howtoforge.com/conky_system_monitor_on_ubuntu704 and indeed it is really easy. ~5mins. had to comment out "font arial" from ~/.conkyrc cuz somehow it didnt like it. this last link includes the config necessary to place it on your desktop update: err.. to the comment about python a few posts up: i dont know any python at all, worked for me. config file is simple to understand and generally, you dont even have to mess with it at all. update1: this helps too: http://suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=24876 | ||

You guys should know that saving shit to the desktop might corrupt your user profile and thus make windows xp slow as fuck. You probably have this if it takes 5+ minutes for your computer to shut down. | ||

Btw, Conky is really easy. I just begged TKWL for his script and read the manpage. It took me less than 3 hours to change his script for my system. | ||

Intrust with binary you should give linux another try. the newest version are incredible. With openSUSE i did no config management at all, i didn't need to find drivers for my hardware. All the stuff i need to download have a installscript like in windows. its great! | ||

I also have the famous cube: ![[image loading]](https://tl.net/staff/ToKoreaWithLove/dec2.png) explain: Linux desktop has a number of workspaces - usually set to 4 but you can pick yourself - and a fancy 3d program makes a cube with one desktop on each side. I can for example put a movie on one side, my browser on another, photoshop on the 3rd and the spin the cube to select another desktop. It's mainly for show but I find it nice when doing useful work. A "workspace" is the same as your screen in windows. Must be pretty demanding? Is it possible to dual boot? I'd like to try it | ||
